Is there actually any canon stating Snape was in Slytherin? I do not have my books handy. I know Sirius said that Snape hung out with an older group of Slytherins, but is there actually CANON stating Snape was IN Slytherin? I do not think one would have to have been in a particular house to be head of that house as a staff member. In know JKR was asked about the house affiliation of MWPP, but what about Snape?

Alla:

No, besides that quote I can't think of any canon stating for a fact that Snape was a Slytherin. I was a big fan of the theory that either Sirius was a Slytherin or Snape was a Gryffindor (Those two make a very nice couple, IMO :o))

Anyway, since JKR shot down the theory that Marauders were in different houses, I still think that Snape as a Gryffindor is a possibility.

It could be a nice surprise JKR will throw at Harry at the end.

Elihu's answer:

As I've stated in message 91177, I think that MWPP were in Slytherin. I still believe this, and no number of times Rowling states otherwise matter to me. From my perspective, the interviews aren't as canon as the books; if the books say one thing, and Rowling says otherwise in an interview, the books are right.
