Remember: Hagrid is quoted as saying that there wasn't a witch or wizard that went bad that wasn't in Slytherin.

Yes, but when he said this didn’t the majority of the WW think that Sirius was the betrayer?

Iggy:

<snip> Also, from almost word one that we hear about him, he always hung out with people stronger than himself in order both to feel important, and to protect himself. Something that's decidedly a Slytherin thing to do, IMHO.

now lauralexis:

But why would Peter, a Slytherin, even be hanging out with the other three? If Harry’s class is any indication, the animosity between Gryffindor and Slytherin is deep, and almost certainly goes back to when Slytherin himself left the school. It would seem odd for Peter to go against tradition (for lack of a better word), considering that he’s portrayed as a follower – one would expect him to follow his House. He doesn’t seem to have enough backbone to make the conscious choice to defy the whole of it. I think he could still be in Hufflepuff – they seem to get on with Gryffindors quite well, generally – but I think it’s more likely that he was in Gryffindor, like the other three.

Which would be kind of boring and flat. Inlighten us, JK!
