I said it before, I will say it again. I don't think it is far 
fetched at all, although many people will disagree. I don't think 
that "run with the gang of Slytherins" is enough to clearly place 
Snape in Slyhterins.


What if Sorting Hat had the same trouble placing Snape it had with 
Harry?

I would love "Snape in Gryffindor" to be one of the surprises JKR 
shows us and Harry at the end. That would be funny.
