JKR's Barnes and Noble interview October 2000:
http://www.geocities.com/aberforths_goat/October_2000_Live_Chat_Barnes
_Noble.htm
Q: What house was Hagrid in?
JKR: Hagrid was in Gryffindor, naturally! 

This is interesting. I knew that was in one of her interviews, but 
I didn't remember which, so I tried Mike the Goat's usually very 
helpful search engine at http://www.geocities.com/aberforths_goat/ 
but I wasn't sure what words to search for... trying for 'Hagrid' 
AND 'House' found so many hits that I was quite lost.

So I went to Steve's Lexicon at 
http://www.i2k.com/~svderark/lexicon/index.html and looked up 
Hagrid: http://www.i2k.com/~svderark/lexicon/hagrid.html
and found: "House: Gryffindor (BN)" so I went to look up BN in the 
Sources: http://www.i2k.com/~svderark/lexicon/site_sources.html 
and found:  Barnes & Noble.com October 2000 (BN) 

That was a hyperlink but I got 'Netscape is unable to locate the 
server www.hpnetwork.f2s.com' when I clicked. But now that I knew 
which interview I wanted, I went back to Mike's site to find his copy 
of it.
