Carol in message 88750 raises objections to the idea that James and 
the boys were in Slytherin.  Marianne in message 88761 makes a good 
response and I also addressed some of the issues in my two initial 
postings.  But here is one point I hadn't thought of:

In POA, Remus wants Gryffindor to beat Ravenclaw at Quidditch.  
Doesn't that mean he was in Gryffindor?  No.  Remus would support 
Harry.  I'd bet he would also cheer for Harry over Slytherin even if 
Remus had been in Slytherin.  Harry is Remus's last link to his best 
friend James and Lily — Harry even looks like James with Lily's 
eyes, so Remus is reminded of James all the time.  So of course he 
is going to cheer for Harry (and therefore his House) no matter what 
House Harry is in and what House Remus was in.  In short, he won't 
cheer against Harry and his lost friend.
