I've been able to find is in the Scholastic interview, probably the 
same one you mentioned, where the question was asked:

Obviously if he wasn't in Gryffindor, she's not going to give that 
away in a Scholastic interview, since it would be quite a revelation.

This has come up before, and I maintain that it is much ado about 
nothing. It's like answering the question, "What position does Kurt 
Warner player for the Rams?" and only answering "QB"

The Rams (and the Gryffs) are implied and understood.

Besides, though we rightly don't call the film canon, I have a hard 
time believing that scene gets in if JKR says to the 
screenwriter, "You REALLY shouldn't ID James as a Gryff."
