>From message #1991:
"Lily being in Slytherin also fits in with the theory of Snape being
in love with her; on the other hand, I would suspect that most of the
other Slytherins would have resented her, because she was Muggle born,
while the majority of them would have come from old, pureblooded
wizarding families. If so, it would have made sense for her to seek
out friends from other houses, which might have helped lead to her
meeting and eventually falling in love with James."

However, after a bit of research, I've read JKR saying that Lily was
actually in Gryffindor!
