Where is this at?  About Sirius having friends in Slytherin?  Is there
anywhere where it is stated point blank what house Sirius himself was in?
And James Potter and Lupin for that matter.  I have been operating under the
general impression that they were all in Gryffindor.  But now that I am
rereading, haven't found that through SS/Ps and parts of CoS and am
wondering if I just picked it up from the movie (gasp!) when the Quidditch
plaque with James' name was shown.  Which isn't in the book.  Did I read
that they were in Gryffindor or did I make it up?  The whole gang of them
seemed to personify the Sorting Hat's description of Slytherins, "cunning
folk who'll use any means to achieve their ends."
