I reply with my two sickles worth:

I've always thought that Snape might have been the fifth Gryffindor 
Boy if he were to have lived in any other house than Slytherin. Think 
about how hard he might have tried to be part of the Marauders, but 
never exactly fit in. Wouldn't that be ironic?


The quote can be interpreted many different ways. I thought it meant 
that he was part of a group of Slytherins--but not necessarily a 
Slytherin. 

One theme I've seen in Harry Potter is the lack of house integration. 
I don't see many Gryffindors willingly making friends with 
Hufflepuffs and vice versa. Only Percy Weasley was the exception 
since he dated Ravenclaw's Penelope.

--Fyre Wood... who wants to know what house Snape was in so she can 
mock him for it if he was in Gryffindor.
