Mandy here:
But his `friends' would notice.  So, for that matter, so would his 
roommates.  So I imagine precautions would have been taken by Remus 
and the faculty.  Remus must have had an excuse for his monthly 
departure, he had to have done or the whole school would have 
noticed.  So lets imagine he had some sort of excuse that enabled him 
to leave school for 2 days once a month, every month.  I'm thinking 
something like he had a family member in hospital that 
he `visited.'   DD and all the teachers would back him up on this and 
support the lie, squashing any rumor etc.  Enabling Remus to leave 
school and cavort in the Forbidden Forest. 

As for the other three, they couldn't disappear for the entire 2 days 
that the moon is full.  James, Sirius and Peter would have left at 
night only, and only for a short period of time.  A couple of hours 
at the most.  Possible staying out all night once every couple of 
months.  Or, maybe, one of them would stay out all night while the 
other two went back to bed, taking it in turns to be with 
Werewolf/Remus.

So my point is that Remus being absent for 2 days a month (not just 2 
nights) every one would notice. But only his friends, Sirius, Peter 
and James and his enemies, Severus would care, and wonder, and begin 
to question. So in my opinion it doesn't matter what house any of 
them were in, if they were true friends of Remus, which they were, 
they would have `found out' about his condition and wanted to help 
him.

Mandy again:
Yes, I agree what about the roommates?  Sirius, James and Peter were 
running a risk for being discovered by their roommates.  Why weren't 
any of them suspicious?  Well perhaps they were.  Remember James and 
Sirius ruled that school and I'm certain if a roommate noticed 
something they weren't supposed to notice and the James and Sirius 
wanted it forgotten....it was forgotten, quickly.  If any one pushed 
the issue, like Severus did, serious consequences resulted.  Don't 
forget Severus was nearly led to his death by Sirius Black for being 
nosy and `pushing' the issue.  That would scare me into being quite. 

Finally the fact that Severus did notice leads me to believe that one 
of them must have been in Slytherin with Snape.
