First name adressing = same House? + Snape the Vampire (yes, again)

There was some talk recently that James and Lily might not have been
in the same House at Hogwarts since they adressed each other by their
last names.
I wonder in which house Hagrid was back then - do we have any canon
to tell?
The reason I wonder is because in CoS (chapter 13) Tom Riddle and
Hagrid adress each other by first name:
"'Evening, Rubeus,' said Riddle sharply. The boy slammed the door
shut and stood up. 'What yer doin' down here, Tom?'"
Riddle and Hagrid were 2 years apart when they were at Hogwarts and
it seems a bit strange that they use first names (and this was in the
40's when I assume that using last names was even more common between
people who didn't socialise with each other?)

Second.
In PoA Sirius is at first described in a way that reminds me a lot of
Snape (long, black hair, waxy white skin etc.) - and in Chapter 3 it
says:
"Harry had never met a vampire, but he had seen pictures of them in
his Defence Against the Dark Arts classes, and Black looked just like
one."
I never thought of Black as a possible Vampire but as the describtion
of him reminded me of Snape I (once again) got to think that there
must be something there :-)
