Voldemort a Gryffindor?

I jsut got done REreading Chamber of Secrets and something occured 
to me as I read the intense scene in the chamber. Voldemort is 
giving a description of what the teachers thought of him:
"Tom Riddle, poor but brilliant, parentless but so BRAVE, school 
prefect, model student..." (CoS pg311 US Soft Cover)

Emphasis on "brave" is not my own. That's I think may be a clue that 
Riddle wasn't a Slytherin, but a Griffindor. Even later on when 
Harry is talking to Dumbledore (pg 332) about what house he should 
be in, Dumbledore never says anything about Voldemort being in 
Slytherin. 

I don't remember reading anywhere that specifically says Riddle was 
in Slytherin. If it is in there, please correct me. If it isn't in 
there I won't be suprised to later find out that Voldemort was in 
Gryffindor.

Anywone else have thoughts on this?
