Bart:
She does appear to have a definite prejudice in favor of Slytherin, however. That would imply being a Slytherin herself.

Bart:
Gildylocks HAS wiped out memories of true heroes so that he could take advantage of their heroics. And he does seem to have a bit of a prejudice in favor of Gryffindor, and an obsession with being thought the hero. If I had to guess with the Turban, I'd put him as a Ravenclaw, in his quest for knowledge and his giving in to Morty's cold logic.

Bart (no relation):
Hard to say with Barty Jr. He was definitely recruited by the Death Eaters at a young age. And consider how fanatical his father was in pro/persecuting the Death Eaters, almost as if he had something to live down. Sr. and Jr. very well might have been Slytherins.
