I've read a couple of posts saying that the MWPP should have been in 
Slytherin, etc., and while I do think that this is an interesting 
idea, I find it doubtful.  In OoP Harry takes a trip into Snape's 
mind at the time of the MWPP school days.  My point here is that he 
sees them in their school robes.  I would think that if Harry saw his 
father and his friends wearing Slytherin robes, he would be quite 
upset/disappointed/confused/astounded, and we would probably know 
about it.  It seems that if any of them were in Slytherin, it would 
be too much of an important plot line to leave out there.  I'm not 
completely sure with this theory though, because there is always the 
chance that Harry didn't pay attention to detail and didn't notice 
the uniform colors (the uniforms might also have been different 
concerning the display of house colors) or JK just didn't feel it was 
necessary to let us know at that moment.  I still think, however, 
that it is much more likely that the MWPP were in Gryffindor (or at 
least most of them) because of Harry's lack of shock. 

Thanks! (That was my first post on the list by the way...Hi 
everyone!)
