I just went and looked it up, and this site refers to the October 2000
Scholastic interview as the source.  The question asked at that interview
was:

    What position did James play on the Gryffindor Quidditch team? Was it
seeker like Harry, or     something different?

To which JKR replied "James was Chaser. "  So she didn't really say James
was in Gryffindor.  She said he was chaser.  Not Gryffindor chaser.  So she
didn't deny or confirm that he was in Gryffindor.  Obviously if he isn't she
wouldn't let that out in an interview!

I think it's the room Dumbledore was talking about at the Triwizard banquet
(I think that's when it was), a room that he found on the way to the
bathroom and when he went back to investigate it was gone.  Harry wasn't
sure if he was serious or not, but if he was that room would certainly have
magical powers if it can disappear.
