I subscribe to Four House theory. James was a Gryffindor, Sirius the
good Slytherin, Lupin a Ravenclaw, and Peter a Hufflepuff.
<<snippage>> Lupin is the most bookish and learned of the Marauders.
He also seems a bit guilty about wishing for a Gryffindor victory at
Quidditch.

If anything, Lupin's guilt indicates he was a Gryffindor. Lupin
expresses guilt for wishing a Gryffindor victory because he voiced
favoritism for his (IMO) former House when he should now be impartial
as a professor. He says something to the effect of "Not that I'm
supposed to take sides" to Harry. He is not expressing guilt because
he was a Ravenclaw and he's betraying loyalty to his former House.
McGonagall and Snape can openly express preference for their
respective
Houses in a friendly Quidditch wager because they are Heads of Houses.
Being "bookish and learned" does not preclude one from being sorted
into Gryffindor. Hermione is bookish but she's in Gryffindor. Snape
was bookish as a student (witness his post-O.W.L. behavior in OOTP),
but no one seems to think he was a Ravenclaw.
