Dumbledore's House

[apologies if this got covered when I wasn't looking] Oh, Steve, and
whoever had mentioned this as a given....I was reading through my new
Philosopher's Stone, telling myself for the sixth time that I should
make a list of the usages and words that "stuck out" to a native Texan,
and I saw the reference to Dumbledore being in Gryffindor. I *think*
it's page 79, but it's the Canadian version of the British text, so it's
in the part where Hermione has come into the compartment with Ron &
Harry on the way to Hogwarts, and they're talking about Houses, and she
in talking about Gryffindor says, "I hear Dumbledore himself was in
Gryffindor," or something to that effect. So it's strongly implied,
given the reliability of Hermione as a detail-checker.

Sorry no page and not a better reference; I get to read at lunch and in
the tub and stuff, when I'm not at the computer, and I don't actually
know where my son hid the book at the moment (he likes the train on the
cover).
