How so?

Well...he doesn't say "I hope Gryffindor wins, but as a teacher I 
shouldn't take sides."  He says something like "Good luck...," or "I 
hope you do well...though as a teacher I shouldn't take sides."  So 
the implication to me is that he's cheering for Harry/being supportive 
of him, not expressing a rooting interest for any house.

I do think they were probably all in Gryffindor--friendships seem 
pretty segregated by House, at least in Harry's day--but I wonder if 
there's a reason JKR doesn't actually tell us their House(s), namely, 
it's going to be important and the answer isn't what we all assume.

  "Blimey," said the other twin.  "Are you--?"
  "He *is*," said the first twin.  "Aren't you?" 
 he added to Harry.
  "What?" said Harry.
  "*Harry Potter*," chorused the twins.
  "Oh, him," said Harry.  "I mean, yes, I am."
