Me (Sarcasticmuppet):
No, it doesn't.  Not at all.  In the first *movie* Harry sees his 
father's name on a Gryffindor trophy.  I have never found this in 
canon.

However, in Book V, Harry lets it slip that James was, in fact, a 
Gryffindor.  "The truth was that Ron had just remined Harry forcibly 
of another Gryffindor Quiddich player who had once sat rumpling his 
hair uner this very tree."  This might have already been discussed, 
so I will beg forgiveness.  I've discussed this with others in a 
different forum, and realize that Harry might very well be assuming 
(perhaps wrongly) that James was a Gryffindor, but since this series 
is from Harry's point of view, it must be important for him to assume 
this.
