  Tonya,

  I think the indicators point to Sirius being in Gryffindor. After 
all, his mother screams that he's a traitor. Why? Certainly not for 
going to Azkaban under suspicion for killing Muggles. That would have 
made her happy. I think it was probably his being put in Gryffindor 
that did it. We also heard him say that he ran away to James's house 
when he was 17. That implies that they were extremely close, and I 
doubt they formed a close enough relationship for him to basically be 
like another son to the Potter grandparents unless he was in 
Gryffindor. There is also the issue of how and where they would all 
meet to figure out how to become Animagi if they weren't studying in 
the Gryffindor common room, together, nights. I think the friendship 
between Padfoot, Prongs, Moony, and Wormtail, was probably an inter-
house thing. I can hardly imagine them all sneaking out under 
invisiblity cloaks every night to study Animagi theory.
