 My question is why are people so sure that the Marauders were not all Slytherins?

Snip> -PolarisThe thought of Sirius being in Slytherin struck me, too. On the other hand there are several reasons that go against this. 1) Sirius hates his family, his house and all that goes with it. So at the sorting he may have asked (like Harry) not to be sorted into Slytherin, or was sorted into 
 Gryffindor straight away. 2)Imagine Sirius being a Slytherin and him and James being horrible to Snape. I bet Sirius wouldn't survive one hur in the Slytherin common room or the dormitory. There would have been constant fights. 3)IMHO opinion the Marauders were all in the same house, just due to the fact, that they noticed Lupin missing once a month - hence he wasn't in the dormitory and second and more important reason: they fugured out how to be animagi. Surely they didn't work on that in broad daylight in the library, but rather secretly at night, probably sneaking books from the restricted section. How easy it would be if they all were in one dormitory...magicalme
