Where does it say that?

At any rate, just because the Grey Lady is a descendent of Mr. Slytherin dosn't mean that she was in the house. Heck, for all we know, she could be a descendent of Helga Hufflepuff and Godric Gryffindor too! How can we know?

(Of course, maybe it is specified that Tom's mum was a Slytherin, it does sound like something he'd like to mention while in memory form.)

But what if Tom's mother IS the Grey Lady, therefore, a Ravenclaw. Well, while Slytherins are sly and self-serving, Ravenclaws are clever. And lets be honest, slyness and cleverness just differ in how you use them, right?
