I asked:
Does Sirius ever show strong house allegiance? This would really 
help my argument...

David: 
What was in my mind is the disparagng way he refers to Snape's 
gang of Slytherins - that is he still categorises them by house.  
Admittedly that is looking back at schooldays, when you might slip 
back into school modes of thought anyway.

Me: Well, they *did* all turn out to be Death Eaters. I think that's 
the only thing you could say he was disparaging about in that 
speech, and it's fairly justified in the grand scheme of things.

Oddly, Laine wrote:
Of course, you also have to wonder whether or not Sirius WAS in 
Gryffindor. I'm sure this had been voiced before, but I've always 
wondered if each of the Marauders came from a different house. 

Me: Yes, that's what the entire thread was discussing. Try using 
the "Up Thread" facility to track the argument of a thread.

(still snorting whenever the MWPP/Gryffs question comes up, except 
now with Idlerat-reinforced self-righteousness. Hurrah! Someone 
agrees with me!)
