  Sorry djrfdh, but Jo herself has stated that Lily was in Gryffindor.

  And I think it is accepted as canon that Lily and Petunia's parents
  were both muggles as Snape calls Lily a `Mudblood' in OotP, Snapes
  Worst Memory.   As it is stands the term `Mudblood' has only been
  used to insult the offspring of muggles, not half-bloods or any other
  degree of mixed blood status, so it seem that an insult that specific
  would have been corrected it indeed Lily anything but muggle born.


  Lady Macbeth replies:

  I've been of the opinion that Lily was in Gryffindor HOUSE, but was a
DESCENDANT of Slytherin.  Yes, Snape calls Lily a Mudblood - but for
whatever reason, Fudge and the other examiners didn't recognize Arabella
Figg as a squib.  I got the impression that they thought she was some Muggle
that Dumbledore dug up, and were going to try to get him in trouble for that
until she said she was a squib.  And even after that revelation, they didn't
want to believe that a squib could see or sense a Dementor.

  I'm thinking that both of Lily's parents were squibs, and that the family
had possibly been non-magical so long that the magical world forgot about
that branch.  After all, if pureblood families like the Blacks are willing
to erase all record of a family member for something as tame as marrying a
Muggleborn or giving money to a hated nephew, then there's no reason they
couldn't just forget about a branch of the family that was non-magical.
After all, Molly Weasley has that cousin who's an accountant, but the family
never talks about.
