MWPP, Houses, and Quidditch

Okay, suppose James, Peter, Sirius, and Remus were in different 
Houses. Would the friendship and loyalty of four 11 year olds be 
able to overcome the competiveness of Quidditch? If Sirius was in 
Slytherin, like some people suspect he was, then how would he handle 
the rivalry between Gryffindore and Slytherin at Quidditch matches? 

We know James was on the Quidditch team. Granted, we don't know what 
year he started, but I don't think Sirius would be able to sit back 
and take it if his best friend's House won the Quidditch cup. 
And, was Sirius ever on the Quidditch team? If James and Sirius were 
such good friends, you'd think they'd both share a love for playing 
Quidditch. 

And how would the other three friends feel if one of them won the 
House Cup? And if Siruis was friends with a Gryffindor, he teasing 
from other Slytherins would be horrible. If he lost any points for 
the House as a result of his tramping about with James, the teasing 
would be downright malevolent. Of course, some could argue that that 
would fuel the prank, especially since Snape would probably be the 
head of that teasing.

One last thing: Are Hufflepuff doomed forever to sit on the 
sidelines and watch the more prominent Houses fight for the glory? 
Will Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw ever win ANYTHING that doesn't 
constitute someone having to die?

=Acire, who could use some Peppercup Potion right now...where's 
Snape when you need him?
