Potioncat:
I think Snape was in Slytherin.  It's hard to imagine  how a younger 
Gryffindor could have hooked up with older Slytherins.  And if he 
had, it would seem that the wording would have been, " he was in 
Gryffindor, but he ran with a group of Slytherins..."

I will say this much, I've never understood Snape's jealousy of J. 
Potter's quidditch skills.  If they had been in the same house and 
competed for a place on the team, it might make more sense.
