Hi,

I'm sorry to barge in with this question, but i need it for a fic i'm 
writing.

I saw in the Harry Potter Lexicon (Hi Steve! My steadfast source of 
information) that James Potter is sorted as a Gryffindor Alumni. Is 
this based on the books/JKR chat, or is this just a theory? Because 
this makes a messy puddle of a theory i've been building in my fic.

spoiler - readers of KDIL - do not read any further - 

This theory states that Lupin, as a werewolf, had to be a Slytherin. 
Sirius was also a Slytherin (partly based on Hagrid's statement in 
PS) and the rest of the gang was with them in the house.
I further support that theory in assuming that James and Lily were 
Head Boy and Girl together, and it hardly seems fair to the other 
houses that both would be of the same house. Of course, they could 
have held the position sequentially, or have simply made the other 
houses sulk. :)

Any comments?

thanks, yael
