In interviews, Rowling states that Lily, James, and Hagrid are in
Gryffindor. IT is supposed that Remus, Sirius, and Peter were also in
Gryffindor. I immediately put that Mauraders in the same house. I think
Hagrid is making a blanket statement that wizard who went bad were in
Slytherin. I think we are discovering that each person has traits of
other houses. We don't know *why* Peter was originally put in
Gryffindor, but I heartily believe that he didn't go bad until *after*
Hogwarts.

I'm not sure Sirius was serious about killing Snape. I think he was just
hoping that Remus would bite him, and turn Snape into a werewolf
himself. I don't know what the initial intention was. Sirius seems to be
a loose canon at times, but I'm not sure he'd actually try to kill a
fellow classmate. Obviously there is disdain between the two. Sirius
also didn't mind letting Snape's head bob up against the ceiling in PoA,
but I'm not sure he would have gone through with letting Remus *kill*
him. But that might just be wishful thinking on my part.
