I think another clue in figuring out house designations-would be who 
the heads of the current houses are.  IMO, it would not make sense to 
put someone in charge of a particular house if that person (if they 
attended Hogwarts) had not been a member of that house themselves.  
So working on that theory, I think we can assume the following:  
McGonagall was in Gryffyndor.  Snape in Slytherin.  As for Sirius, 
Lupin, and Pettigrew, because of their close friendship to James 
Potter, I have always assumed they were in Gryffyndor.  I am basing 
this on the fact that there does not seem to be many "cross-house" 
friendships- at least, not that fall into the "best friend"/ 
confidant status. There certainly had to be a certain amount of trust 
between the Marauders considering what they were up to- the animagi 
transformations. It has been stated in canon that both Hagrid and 
Dumbledore were in Gryffyndor.  Another assumption can be made in 
regards to Arthur and Molly Weasley, based on their general 
characteristics, I would assume they too were in Gryffyndor.  Based 
upon current personality traits, I would have a hard time "sorting" 
Fudge- he is unwise, a Malfoy stooge-possibly-but would that 
automatically place him in Slytherin?  Who knows what he truly 
feels?  IMO, the "Sorting Hat" is a tricky -somewhat "iffy" device.  
JKR has said that we will learn more about it in future books and I 
am ready to find out.
