I have to disagree with Peter in Ravenclaw.  No book handy (note to
self:  force sister to return books!) but in the pub scene in PoA,
didn't McGonagall say that Peter wasn't in the same league academically
as the others?

If they were in different Houses, I'm more inclined to see them as

JP = Gryffindor (brave stag)
PP = Slytherin (ambitious rat)
SB = Hufflepuff (loyal dog)
RL = Ravenclaw (only for sure prof.)

but could agree with switching Lupin & Black.

I also think that Martin Smith's idea that interhouse friendships were
more common before the Voldemort Years makes great sense.  Hagrid told
Harry about not knowing who to trust and it follows that it would be
much easier to trust people you saw all day long than the ones you
didn't.  Perhaps before the VY there weren't even passwords?
