Then Frugalarugala added:

Unless I'm mistaken, we don't know yet when McGonagall became head 
of Gryffindor, we just assume there was no other head-of-house 
between Dumbledore and her. It's possible that she wasn't any more 
than their transfigerations professor, which might be supported by 
Snape's lack of resentment for McGonagall from their school days, if 
she wasn't in charge of the Marauders...
