> <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.

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.
