DEFINITELY not. Definitely. We know James was in Gryffindor. My 
friend's run off with my books, so I can't give you a quote, but he 
is in Gryffindor.

The criterion for being in Gryffindor is what? Bravery. James, 
Sirius, and Lupin all seem like textbook Gryffindors to me. So what 
if James and Sirius aren't nice? Gryffindor isn't the house of the 
nice. It really irks me when people go, "Oh, he's a snot. Must be a 
Slytherin." Slytherin is NOT the house of the evil awful meanies; 
it's for the ambitious and cunning. 

Furthermore, if the Marauders should be placed in Slytherin because 
the Marauders/Snape dynamic is similar to the Draco/Harry and Ron 
one, does that mean Snape belongs in Gryffindor? Of course not.
