Dear all,

I'm not sure if anyone's already mentioned this in my absence 
(they're bound to have) but when I was last actually reading posts 
every free minute, there was still an active debate about the houses 
of MWPP and whether or not Snape's worst memory proved that James 
couldn't be a Gryffindor. 

When rereading a few days back, I came to a definite answer to the 
housing-question: James was in Gryffindor. Positive. Sure. My proof 
is very simple, yet I managed to completely read over it the first 
time round:

It appears in the beginning of the chapter following Grawp (I forget 
the name), HRH are sitting outside on the grounds, and Ron is telling 
them about the match they missed the previous day. Ron ruffles up his 
hair to make the match seem more 'exciting' and Harry grins because 
Ron "reminded him of another Gryffindor Quidditch player who ruffled 
up his hair under that very tree". If that's not proof, I don't know 
what is.

*wonders if anyone's going to refute this?*

My two knuts worth,
Alon
