KathyK, with book in hand:
Potioncat is correct on both counts. The incident where the Fat
Lady told off Molly and the incident where Arthur was caught are the
same.

GoF Ch. 31, US ed. pg 616:
"She was here in my time, said Mrs. Weasley. "She gave me such a
telling off one night when I got back to the dormitory at four in
the morning-"
"What were you doing out of your dormitory at four in the morning?"
said Bill, surveying his mother with amazement.
Mrs. Weaslely grinned, her eyes twinkling.
"Your father and I had been for a nighttime stroll," she said. "He
got caught by Apollyn Pringle-he was the caretaker in those days-
your father's still got the marks."

And Ron does state his parents were both in Gryffindor:

"What house are your brothers in?" asked Harry.
"Gryffindor," said Ron. Gloom seemed to be settling on him
again. "Mom and Dad were in it, too."
