  Janet answered:
  He didn't *know,* but it was a good guess, because he *did* know that James 
  was in Gryffindor. We  know that families tend to favor one house (cf. 
  Lucius and Draco), and that the houses select for characteristics which 
  James could suppose had been passed down from father to son.  Besides, it 
  was the only house whose location and layout he knew for sure (assuming he 
  was in Gryffindor himself, which I believe although I don't remember any 
  canon on the subject), and so a good place to start.

  If he hadn't found Ron there, he would probably have tried other places, 
  which would have been more difficult.


  Me again (izaskun)
  yes, but the second time he went directly to Ron's bed, he ripped the hangings of the bed... 
  I keep wondering....

  CHeers, Izaskun
