James Potter Bio Facts

[Debbie Roberson]

No: HPFGUIDX 89954

I've spent about 4 hours searching archives and rereading bits of the 
books and can't find the confirmation I'm looking for, so I've 
decided to post to the list at large.....

Most everyone assumes that James Potter was of Gryffindor House - but 
I can't find any specific canon reference that explicitly states that 
as fact.

The HP Lexicon gives us 2 references; the first is the online 
interview with Scholastic wherein someone (making an assumption) asks 
what position James played on the Gryffindor Quidditch team, and JKR 
simply replies that he was a Chaser.  That, IMO, is not at all 
conclusive evidence she didn't say he wasn't Gryffindor, but she 
didn't say that he was either.   

The HP Lexicon also says that James' House was confirmed by Harry in 
CH 31 of OP.  I've just reread the chapter twice and can find no 
mention of James anywhere. Am I just missing it?
