*curses JKR and her frequent dearth of female characters*
Ravenclaw: Rowena herself, the Grey Lady, Moaning Myrtle, Penelope Clearwater with wiggling, Cho Chang, Padma Patil, and a few more names with not much in the way of personality attached.
Slytherin: tougher, because most of the Slytherin students *and* adults are outside the castle at this point. Alecto Carrow, Narcissa, Bellatrix, and Millicent are possibilities.
You are also at fair liberty to do your own sorting for adults (Order members, staff, random dead people) who do not canonically have a house, as long as it makes sense with the character and your interpretation thereof. For example, I can't imagine Rita or Umbridge being anywhere but Slytherin.
I would suggest poking about the Lexicon (http://www.hp-lexicon.org/wizards/wizards_list.html)... obviously part of the function of the no-OC rule is to discourage Mary Sues, but it's also there simply because there are so many secondary or background or just-mentioned characters about whom we know so little that they're practically OCs.
