Peter Pettigrew was in Gryffindor, wasn't he?
He is a Death Eater.

No, nobody is ever automatically bad, of course not: but let's face
it, Slytherins do have a bit of a reputation, and there are several
places where characters express an acute awareness of this. Nothing
so far has come up to challenge that reputation. It is hard for me to
imagine that this will continue unchallenged through all of the books.
