It comes up on the train in PS/SS.  Hermione, rattling on about what 
house she'd like to be in, says she's heard Dumbledore himself was in 
Gryffindor (a fact that doesn't seem to cheer up the fated Gryffindor 
Ron).  She could be misinformed.

This I don't recall.  Maybe you're thinking that because in CoS we 
learn he was the Transfiguration professor in Riddle's time, so you're 
making the association with McGonagall?

 you should be breaking any more rules!  And you were the one
 who told me to stand up to people!"
   "Yes, but not to =us=," said Ron in exasperation.
