Batchevra:
> <snip> we do have canon that Lupin is partial to Gryffindor, by 
the fact in POA, when he is drinking the butterbeer with Harry, he 
toasts to a Gryffindor victory over Ravenclaw, also the fact that 
McGonagall tells Lupin about the tea leaves and Harry. From what 
Lupin says and the canon that we have on friendships between the 
Houses, I would say that Sirius, James, Peter and Remus are all in 
the same house, same year and that it was Gryffindor. 
> 
> Lavender and Parvati are best friends, Dean and Seamus also, 
Weasley twins and Lee Jordan, Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle, Cho and 
Marietta, very few friendships are cross house, but it doesn't mean 
that romantic friendships are in the same house. >>>


I'm sure someone must've noticed, but in PoA Sirius knows exactly 
were the entrance into the Gryffindor Tower was. He couldn't have 
found out by following a Gryffindor there because it would have been 
of the esence to avoid been seen by someone, and also, the little 
detail that after 12 years in Azkaban he had no way of knowing which 
students were in each house, so he wouldn't have known who to 
follow, and couldn't find out without exposing himself to being 
discovered. Even in the remote case that he'd been able to follow 
one, then he sould've been able to overhear the password and there 
wouldn't have been any reason to attack the Fat Lady.

As we saw in CoS only the members of each house know how to get 
there. That would imply that Black was a Gryffindor, or at least had 
a friend who was close enough to him to betray the trust and reveal 
where the entrance was. I have the impresion from the books that 
access to the common room of every house is a closely kept secret. 
If my memory doesn't fail me, we've never seen people from other 
houses being invited over. 

I very much doubt that if the marauders had been in Slytherin, or 
any other house for that matter, they would have known were the 
entrance was. The fact that Sirius went straight to the Fat Lady's 
portrait indicates that he was a Gryffindor, and since I find very 
difficult to belive that so strong a friendship could've emerged 
from people in different houses, is logical to assume that James, 
Lupin and Pettigrew were too.
