James Potter's house - and Snape

Hello,

Sorry I will not be quoting your posts, I am not experienced in answering to
many messages at one go.

Let me say that I don't believe that James Potter was a Slytherin, because:
- In PS/SS Hagrid wouldn't be telling Harry all those bad things about
Slytherin if it was James's old House.
- In PoA Black said that Snape was a member of a gang of Slytherins. It
doesn't sound like he was talking about his own House.
- From what Dumbledore says, Sorting Hat wanted to put Harry to Slytherin
because of his "post-curse" connections with Voldemort. Harry, however, is a
true Gryffindor, because otherwise he wouldn't be able to get Gryffindor's
sword.
- I *absolutely* refuse to belive that Severus Snape could be so thick that
he wouldn't realise what Lupin's symptoms mean after sleeping in the same
dormitory for six years! Howgh!

But, wait... is it ever stated that Snape and the Marauders were in the same
year? Isn't it possible that Snape was in fact a year younger? If he was, it
would explain why he was stressing so much that he was in sixth year at the
time of Black's famous "joke". Anyway, I think he would get wind of things
earlier if they were in the same house, and shared common room.
