>Joe: I find in really hard to believe that Harry would never have 
asked anyone what house his parents were in in the last 5 years.  I 
would think that common sense would tell us that if Harry refers to 
his father as a Gryffindor then it is most likely true. 

Also, Isn't James' middle name Godrick or is that just something that 
I picked up in fan fictions.  I'm not sure if it has ever been 
mentioned in canon or interviews?
