Oh, no. Not quite to that extent. It just affected when your classes were scheduled, and who you shared them with, mostly.
It's a historical institution. There were four Founders of the school, you see, and they disagreed on what the criteria for entry ought to be. Slytherin felt blood purity, ambition, and cunning should be valued. Ravenclaw, intelligence and learning. Gryffindor, brute force and ignorance. And Hufflepuff... well, Hufflepuff really just takes everyone else.
When you first enter the school, the Sorting Hat decides which of the four you're best suited to. Historically, it almost always put my family into Slytherin House.
