I've seen some speculation that dark wizards could come out of the 
other Hogwarts houses.  This is possible, but Hagrid tells Harry 
otherwise.  In SS chapter 5 he says, "There's not a single witch or 
wizard who went bad who wasn't in Slytherin."

Of course, Hagrid can only be talking about known dark wizards.  
Perhaps there are some dark wizards still in the closet, so to speak, 
and they could theoretically come from the other houses.  And 
obviously, the past is not an absolute predictor of the future. 
(although for now I think I'm still a member of P.I.N.E. - Percy Is 
Not Evil)

Cheers,
Jennie
