Clue from JKR about Hagrid's House

Can anyone find this? I am sure I read this somewhere but can't for 
the life of me remember where.

In an interview, JKR was asked what House Hagrid was in. She replied 
that we will find out in one of th future books, and that she could 
not reveal it now.

It was one of those moments when she declins to answer that signals to 
me that she MUST have a good reason, and that the detail is important. 
After all, when people asked what house Lily and James were in, the 
answer was (I am quoting from memory) "Gryffindor, of course!"

My theory is that Hagrid was in Slytherin, and that we soon will see 
more of an exploration of the nature of that house. this is supported 
in CoS-- Tom Riddle finds Hagrid (I think) in his dormitory room 
taking care of one of his animals. Riddle would not have had access to 
any of the other dorms, right?

Which also makes me wonder: Could Riddle have been getting Hagrid out 
of the way for a reason, other than convenience?

Inquiring minds want to know....
