SSSusan:
Just to throw a bit of a monkey wrench into things, remember that the 
question was actually either ODDLY asked or, as most of us assume, 
MISTAKENLY asked.  Here is the actual text, per TLC's quotes section:

>>>Sirius Riddle: What houses were Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, James 
Potter and Remus Lupin in? Everyone tells me they were all 
Gryffindor, but I won't believe it unless I hear it from Ms. Rowling 
herself!
JK Rowling says: This is JK herself saying that they were indeed in 
Gryffindor! <<<

SSSusan again:
Note that the questioner actually named Lupin twice and left 
Pettigrew out.  Now, I don't think this was intentional, and I 
*doubt* JKR answered it only because it left out Pettigrew, but.... ??


Siriusly Snapey Susan, respectfully requesting that people put 
attributions before EACH segment of a response.  Just putting one's 
name at the top or bottom of a post, if the post includes 
several "back & forth" responses, makes it very difficult to keep 
attributions correct when snipping downthread.  

IOW, it really helps if it looks like this:

B:
But yadda yadda yadda...

A wrote:

B:
OTOH, it could be that...

& etc.

Thank you. :-)
