(snipped further Sirius-related Gryffindor thoughts)

Now me...

Hmm, Remus is the tricky one, because he doesn't obviously fit the
qualities of cunning and ambitious. However even attempting to conceal
the fact he's a werewolf is an ambitious undertaking, and to manage to
do it (alone at first, then with help from his friends) takes cunning.
Moreover if all 4 of the gang and Snape were in Slytherin together, it
might explain why the 3 top dogs are friends with Peter ? they're
isolating Snape by gratuitously being friends with everyone except
him. It would also explain how Sirius in GoF knew the identities of
Snape's Slytherin friends. 

Ultimately, I sit on the fence, but I agree with those who think that
some sort of house surprise is definitely going to be sprung upon us.
What about sorting little Mark Evans in Slytherin?!
