Polaris:
Though the possibility that the Marauders were in different houses have come 
up many many times, I wonder if OoP gives us some evidence that this is 
perhaps true, at least in regards to Sirius.  I base this on the fact (OoP, US 
Ed. p. 67) of all the snakes in various household items in the Black house. 
Could this be a clue that the Blacks in general, much like the Weasleys, and 
Creeveys, etc. belonging to one house, all belonged to Slytherin? I know we 
can't definitely tell this, since in GoF I believe Hermione tells us that the 
Patil sisters are in different houses.  But even though there's no evidence to 
prove it, I could see Lupin being in Ravenclaw.  I definitely can't remember, 
but somehow I have the feeling that there's cannon saying Pettigrew was in 
Gryffindor though, which shoots my theory to hell.  Even if the only cannon is 
that Peter and James had class together, though, it could still work, since 
we've seen two houses have class together before. 
 
My reply:
I think Sirius was the black sheep of the family.  I think that while the family tended to be of Slytherin nature he himself was a Gryffindor.  This help to severely sever the ties between thim and his family.  I think it is important to remember that Sirius was a Black, but I don't think the Black's were really ever a part of his true family.  Just my two cents.
