Marianne here

I think your interpretation makes perfect sense.  Having said that, 
I'll add that I also think that JKR ignored a perfect opportunity to 
emphasize what house James was in. She gave only as much info to 
answer the question as she needed without potentially giving away 
anything she didn't want exposed so early in the series, if, indeed 
James and Co. were Slyths.  She didn't actually misdirect anyone - 
she simply didn't reveal all she knows.  Or not. Can you tell I'm 
sitting on the fence on this one?

This carries more weight with me than the "James as Gryff Chaser" 
reason for believing MWPP were Gryffs.  It would make sense that 
things between parents and son would gradually get worse and worse 
over the course of several years. Although, on the other hand <she 
says, climbing back on the fence> I can also see Ma Black getting 
increasingly shrill with her son, who was sorted into Slytherin, and, 
dammit, refuses to act like one!
