JKR has  taken interview/chat questions  about House for  Lily, 
Hagrid, and somewhat obliquely, James. I'm sure questions 
about Sirius, Lupin and Peter have been submitted just as often, 
and she has her reasons for ignoring them.

thing  that I think might speak against the Slytherin theory. When 
Harry was  in the pensieve he saw James and Sirius and they 
surely wore their  school uniforms. Wouldn't Harry have noticed 
(and reacted) if the were form Slytherin? <<

The uniforms in the *books* don't indicate House. Harry and Ron 
mistook Ravenclaw Penelope Clearwater for a Slytherin in  CoS, 
and even her prefect's badge didn't help them out. JKR has 
muddied the waters further by having Harry recollect that Ron's 
red and gold prefect's badge looks exactly like Percy's (which 
was silver. )

I suppose we're to understand that Harry has a rather poor eye 
for  detail. That could explain all the problems he has with 
potions <g>.
