And then there's Hagrid, who said with great confidence and authority that
there hadn't been a witch or wizard who went bad who wasn't in Slytherin --
a big fat whopper if ever I heard one.  I mean, does anybody take the idea
seriously that either Sirius Black (whom everybody including Hagrid believed
to be bad at the time) or Peter Pettigrew were in Slytherin?  So... no
offense, but I'm sticking with my theory until JKR directly contradicts it.
