Sorry to burst all your bubbles, but check out page 107 of the US
hardback edition of SS (The Journey for Plat. 9 3/4) at the very top.
Ron is miserable over whether he'll be in Gryffindor or not. Here's the
quote:

"What house are your brothers in?" asked Harry.

"Gryffindor," said Ron. Gloom seemed to be settling on him again. "Mom
and Dad were in it, too. I don't kow what they'll say if I'm not. I
don't suppose Ravenclaw <i>would</i> be too bad, but imagine if they
put me in Slytherin."

(Harry)"That's the house Vol-, I mean, You-Know-Who was in?"

"Yeah," said Ron. He flopped back into his seat looking depressed.

I just checked my UK edition. In the paperback, the quote is on page 80
of PS. Middle of the page. It's exactally the same ('cept Mom is Mum).
So I guess that knocks out Gryffindor!Voldemort and anyone who had the
Weasley's being in another house. Unless Ron's mixed up, which he could
be. He could be making the same assumption we were that Voldie was in
Slytherin.
