But Sirius was a Marauder and he and his friends had good knowledge of
Hogwarts (they made the Marauder's map). I don't say I don't think he was
in Gryffindor, but I don't think that is enough for proof. 

Cindy's explanation (Crookshanks helped Sirius) also sounded as a good
explanation. It lead me to think about the dormitories. Do Harry, Ron etc
always sleep in the same dormitory, or do they change every year. Is there
one dormitory for first year students where the first year's students of
each year sleep etc.
