I don't have the book in front of me but the dialogue went 
something like, "lets drink to a Gryffindor victory, although as a 
teacher I'm not supposed to take sides"

I don't see this as an indication that Lupin was a Gryffindor.  He 
was just wishing Harry (his favourite student perhaps?) good 
luck in the next match.

Remember, the whole point of the anti-Dementor lessons (to 
Harry anyway, and maybe just on the surface of his 
consciousness, but that's another story) was so he wouldn't fall 
off his broom if the dementors invaded the pitch again.  Harry 
kept saying he had to keep at it so Gryffindor could win at 
Quiddich.  Under the circumstances, Lupin was hardly going to 
say, "well, Harry. I'd wish you luck but 18 years ago I was in 
Ravenclaw so I hope they mop the floor with you"
