Well, he said this when everyone thought Pettigrew was dead - if he 
was really meant "every" and wasn't exagerating for effect, then he 
meant Sirius Black, who, to be honest, is way too cool (or do I mean 
hot, in some people's estimation?) to be a Slytherin.

And given what sirius says about snape in Book IV (to paraphrase, 
something like Slimy Slytherin WHo Came To School Knowing More Dark 
Arts Than Advanced 7th Years), can you really believe that JKR has 
the two of them as dorm-mates/house-mates?

I'm sure JKR will prove me wrong & put all the marauders in 
Slytherin, but I think Hagrid was exagerating when he said all the 
dark wizards were slytherins
