===================

Sherrie, over in the corner, glancing up from Tennessee Williams:

The books don't really describe the uniforms, present or past, except that 
they're "plain working robes".  We assume somehow that there's a House 
distinction - badge or whatever - because Harry is able to identify students' House 
afffiliation at a distance in the books.

However, the House badge concept most of us have (and I'm as guilty as any!) 
is movie contamination.

That said - the pin that YTR wears in the film isn't a House badge - it's his 
Prefect badge.  It's green and silver because he's a Slytherin Prefect, but 
not every Slytherin wears one.
