Sorry about that, Snape was in Slytherin.  I was remembering Sirius' quote
wrong.  I thought he said Snape "ran with a gang of Slytherins who nearly
all turned out to be death eaters."  He actually said "Snape was part of a
gang of Slytherins . . ."  So unless there's such a thing as being resorted,
which can't be proven one way or another yet, he was always a Slytherin.
The only other option I had relies on being resorted.  So keep in mind this
is entirely hypothetical.  After Snape nearly got killed by Lupin, if he WAS
in the same house as the Mauraders it would've been impossible to live with
them.  That would've been a pretty extreme case if resorting is an option in
severe cases.  Which would mean that Snape could also blame Potter and co.
for his association with the Slytherins that led to his Death Eater status.
All right, I'll stop hypothesizing now!
