Mandy:

>Along with Sirius, Lupin and Peter the Lexicon has made assumptions 
about which houses a lot of characters belonged to. E.g. Lucius and 
Narcissa Malfoy and the Lestranges.  Of course it's not a huge leap 
of faith to think Lucius and the Lestranges were in Slytherin but it
 is not yet canon as nowhere in the books does it state 
categorically that they were. Also as we now nothing about Narcissa 
it is wrong to place her in any particular house yet.<

KathyK:

Actually there is canon for both the placement of the Malfoys and 
the Lestranges into House Slytherin:

SS, US Paperback 77, Draco says about his family in Slytherin:

"Well, no one really knows until they get there, do they, but I know 
I'll be in Slytherin, all our family have been"

Whether or not this refers to both Lucius and Narcissa is up for 
debate, I suppose, but I'd bet they're both from Slytherin.  Draco 
ought to know, don't you think?

GoF, US Paperback 531, Sirius on Snape:

"and he was part of a gang of Slytherins who nearly all turned out 
to be Death Eaters."

And then Sirius lists their names, including:

"The Lestranges--they're a married couple--they're in Azkaban."

Sounds like the Lexicon has done no assuming as far as they're 
concerned, either.
