*Based on a statement by [[Horace Slughorn]], Sirius may have been a member of the [[Slytherin]] House. That would make him the only Sirius Black who was sorted into Slytherin house; [[Sirius Black I]] died before going to Hogwarts and [[Sirius Black|Sirius Black III]] was sorted into [[Gryffindor]] house. However, he attended Hogwarts c. [[1880s|1888]] - [[1890s|1895]], when Slughorn was not Potions teacher. |
