Tj:  hi Me again, don't have colors?  I think they do. Maybe it's just
movie contanimation, but, Red/Gold, Green/silver seem to figure alot
in the book.  But, I'll have to look up your reference to Penelope in
CoS.  

But, yes I do think that this quote clearly states that James was in
Griffindor.

TJ here: I have to find the point in the OOP when Harry is in the
pensive with Snapes memories, but I'll let you know what I find.  I
think it was their colors but, maybe it did't say how he came to this
conclusion ...
