Nah, I don't think JK is likely to be run over by a truck. But if 
anything happens to her before she finishes the series...! I don't 
wanna think about it.

Anyway, not one house is said to be, directly or indirectly, "the 
house of the evil witches and wizards." The sorting hat didn't even 
make such an implication. It is unfair to say that one house can be 
bad while the other is good. One can be brave and bold enough to do 
unspeakable horror someday, right (Gryffindor)? One can be 
intelligent and use the knowledge for evil (Ravenclaw). One can be 
loyal to an evil master and be helpful and hardworking to bring down 
the good guys (Hufflepuff). All houses, not just Slytherin, can turn 
out bad wizarding folk. And Slytherins can turn out good witches and 
wizards (even though the probability is lower compared to other 
houses. After all, one can be ambitious enough to change the world 
for the better (Slytherin).
