Which house for which wizard?

The whole debate about where James and Sirius were sorted got me 
thinking about who was in which house when the went to Hogwarts.

For the moment, I'm assuming these folks went to Hogwarts, and not 
Beauxbatons or Durmstrang or some other school we haven't heard of.

And nothing is sure. I'm just going by clues and guesses.

James, Lily, Sirius, Lupin, Pettigrew - Gryffindor. I think the James 
was in Gryffindor is almost certain and I also think for the 
Marauders to be together, they'd need to be in the same house.

Arthur and Molly - Most likely Gryffindor, simply because they've 
produced seven Gryffs.

Hagrid - Most likely Gryffindor, but I don't think we have proof. It 
is interesting that Riddle and Hagrid are on a first name basis - 
page 184, CoS, but I don't think that means Hagrid was a Slyth.

Snape - Slytherin all the way. He was part of a gang of Slyths, 
Sirius says in GoF.

McGonagall - Probably Gryff

Flitwick - Probably Ravenclaw

Sprout - Probably Hufflepuff

Lockhart - I've heard the Gryffindor comments, but I don't think so. 
I can't see Godric actually picking this git. My guess is his cunning 
put him in Slytherin or he landed in Hufflepuff.

Trelawney - Make her a Ravenclaw, just because it will drive Jenny 
from Ravenclaw absolutely batty.

Quirrell, Hooch, Binns, Sinistra -- Not enough known.

Crouch Sr. and Crouch Jr. -- Well, we know Barty Jr. became a DE and 
a lot of Slyths became DEs, so does that follow? I say it does. Now,  
Crouch Sr. is certainly ambitious and cold enough to be in Slyth, 
isn't he? 

But, father and son don't necessarily have to be from the same house.

Malfoys - all Slyths.

Fudge -- Now this is interesting. His feelings on purebloods indicate 
Slytherin sympathies, as does his ambition. But this gets into 
questions about how the Minister of Magic is picked. Does he or she 
have to be elected, or just appointed? And appointed by who? We know 
that Fudge got the job after Dumbledore turned it down and after 
Crouch got into trouble.

I don't know. Putting him in Slyth would be too easy. Call it a 
Hufflepuff.

Anyone else we should try to sort?

Darrin
-- Still trying to found that fifth house.
