(Snipped.)

That is one of the theories I have difficulty buying into, for several 
reasons.  For one, Remus.  If he is lying about being a werewolf and "vanishing" 
once a month, then three other boys from separate houses are far less likely to 
notice his absence than boys that he shares a dormitory (and thus a house) 
with.  Unless it's exaggerated that Sirius, James, and Peter simply figured it out 
on their own -- a denial on Remus's part of having actually told them? -- I 
have trouble seeing them being able to do so.  That also raises the question of 
why Remus's actual dormmates managed to arguably be kept in the dark about 
his lycanthropy -- and why the dormmates of Sirius, James, and Peter didn't 
tattle over them sneaking out (I'd imagine someone noticed, unless Snape is the 
only one, and perhaps noticed Sirius sneaking out).

We've seen, of course, that the Gryffindors share classes with other houses 
-- Potions and Care of Magical Creatures and Flying (in first year, anyway) 
with Slytherin, Herbology with Hufflepuff -- and we can probably assume they 
share something with Ravenclaw as well.  Therefore, they could have interaction 
with each other -- but the likelihood of them banding together that way, in my 
humble opinion, is very slim.

In the books, we're fairly isolated to Harry's point of view on things, but 
it's obvious he's fairly isolated -- that is, keeping to his own house, 
associating with his housemates, etc.  It doesn't mean he never interacts with anyone 
from the other houses, but you always hear about Hufflepuffs sitting around 
with Hufflepuffs, Slytherins hanging out together, etc.  Also, given the 
competetive nature of things, unless they're much different in the MWPP timeline, I 
just think being in four different houses would make things very difficult.
