Now me:

Aaaaaaaarrgggghh!  Movie contamination!  The movie showed a medal 
which said that James was a Seeker, but JKR has said he was a Chaser.

Here's the interview segment:

Q: "What position did James play on the Gryffindor Quidditch team? 
Was it seeker like Harry, or something different?"

JKR:  "James was Chaser."

Since JKR didn't disagree that James was in Gryffindor, I take that 
as fairly good evidence that he was.  In the same interview, JKR was 
asked what house Lily was in, and she responded "Gryffindor 
(naturally)."  So if it's natural for Lily to have been in 
Gryffindor, it would also seem natural for James to have been in 
Gryffindor as well (especially for those of us who believe that James 
and Harry are Gryffindor's descendants!).
