I suppose people assume that the Dark Lord was in Slytherin because of what 
Ron said.  I don't have my book with me, so this this isn't an exact quote.  
Ron says something to the effect of "There wasn't a witch or wizard who went 
bad that wasn't in Slytherin."  So, most people think that the Dark Lord was 
in Slytherin.  But I suppose that is false logic, right?  Most people don't 
know that the Dark Lord was once a Hogwarts student named Tom Riddle.  
Professor Dumbledore mentions something about people not knowing about the 
connection between Riddle and the Dark Lord.  So, in my humble opinion, it's 
completely possible that Tom Riddle was a Gryffindor.  We already know that 
the "all bad wizards were in Slytherin" is false because of Wormtail.  Which 
raises an interesting point: Did Ron not know anything about Sirus Black?  If 
Ron says that Arthur told him that the largest piece of Wormtail found was 
his finger, then presumably he would've known that Sirus was the one that 
blasted him (supposedly).  So, is Ron lying to Harry in PS/SS, or does he 
just not know yet?  (I personally find Ron rather suspicious and would not at 
all be surprised if he were evil/turned evil.  Kind of like that one guy in 
Josh Kirby: Time Warrior.  The whole time we thought that was guy was good 
and the other evil, and in the end, we found out they were reversed!  ... 
sorry.  That was a trifle OT.)

What's the Spanish word for caliente?
Who's with the band?  I'm not with the band?  Do you know anyone with the 
band?  I don't know anyone with the band.  Is there a band here?
I see you shiver, with antici.........................pation.
Don't dream it, be it.
War is peace.  Freedom is slavery.  Ignorance is strength.
No better way to celebrate a holy day than with demonstration of
ignorance.
If you can see the bandwagon, it's too late to get on.
If you realized how powerful your thoughts are you would never 
think another negative thought.
If you dwell on what you don't want, you'll get more of it.
The only time you were ever at peace in your whole life 
was when you were dead.
