Yes, and the quote that people are remembering was from Hagrid in 
PoS/SoS, and it was probably very offhand, as it isn't consistent 
with what Hagrid and everyone else believes to be true. That is, 
everyone at the time mistakenly believed Sirius Black to be on the 
side of evil. I also doubt that Pettigrew was in Slytherin, although 
there is no textual evidence to support this (though one can't really 
call him a *great* dark wizard). Plus there have got to be dark 
wizards from other countries too. (Wonder what the American 
institution of magic is like?)
