No Sirius *doesn't* tell the Trip Snape was a Slytherin. He implies it
certainly but all we can say for sure from that quote is that his friends
were Slytherins.

Personally I believe Snape is Slytherin - but we've never had it 100% stated
for sure.

And on the homosexuality thing - if the WW does mirror the real world then
the odds are high we've already met a few gay characters just because of the
number we've met, just like we've probably met quite a few left handed
people and people whodon't like fish etc etc. Unless it becomes important to
the plot (and romance on the whole doesn't seem particularly vital to the
plot) or someone very close to Harry suddenly outs themselves I don't think
we'll ever know for sure. It's not like you can tell just from looking at
someone and Harry isn't always that observant about things happening around
him anyway.
