James was definately in Gryffindor, this is stated several times in the book. 
And the sorting hat does NOT try to unite all the houses through friendship, 
I mean simply refer to Harry's generation. There's absolutely no connection. 

Am I the only one who hoenstly believes that all four were Gryffindors? I 
mean, they were the Marauders, they needed the Secret Passages and the detentions 
like other kids need air. 

ALSO, Grimmauld Place is adorned with Snakes because Sirius' entire family 
were loyal to the point of obsessed Pure Blooded Slytherins. Sirius, as we know 
from OoTP, has always hated the house and disagreed with the family and hated 
the Dark Arts, theoretically there is no reason why he should be placed in 
Slytherin. 

I firmly beleive that they were all Gryffindors. I mean, how else would 
Sirius have known where the porttrait of the Fat Lady was and how would he know 
that she hid the Gryffindor common rooms if he wasn't in Gryffindor. Also, when 
he broke into the Common Room in PoA he knew where the dormitories were and he 
successfully went to the boys dormitories (not the girls) and he successfully 
found HArry's room (which I think may have been James') and on top of that 
Sirius found his way to the Fat LAdys portrait, into the Common Room and into the 
dormitories IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WHEN IT WAS PITCH BLACK.

You would have to know the school pretty darn well to do that, maybe seven 
years of sneaking back to bed after late night trips to the kitchens? 

Anyway in closing I sincerely think that they were all in Gryfinndor.
