I can see Sirius in Slytherin... maybe. He showed ambition and 
cunning when he wormed his way out of Azkaban... but James?
Heck no. Being the father of a Gryffindor, it makes no sense.
Now, as Dumbledore said in CoS, it's our choices that determine who 
we are. Harry, despite Voldemort's qualities inside him, chose a 
different path. Don't you think Sirius's rebelling against his 
Slytherin family would have put him in a different house due to his 
*choice*?
As for their behavior, the only proof we have of that is Snape's 
Worst Memory. But honestly, their behavior there reminds me of how 
Harry treated Dudley in the first chapter of OotP. It's pure 
adolescense, and as Remus said, they grew out of it.
Sure, they're both purebloods but aren't the Weasleys also? I always 
thought that it was the attitude towards muggleborns that put 
students in Slytherin. I don't get that from any of the Marauders.
However, Peter's cunning and lack of bravery is an entirely 
different post. *wink*
But never James or Remus. 
Personally, I see remus as a Ravenclaw, but I have no proof, so I'll 
shut up about it. ;)
