Slytherins....

The books are told from Harry's pov.

Harry was almost put in slytherin.

He dislikes the people from slytherin he encounters and holds his own 
house paramount.

Of course he sees the slytherins a evil, he was so worried that he 
was almost put there he even goes for a second opinion (whilst left 
alone in Dumbledore's office)  he loves his house and doubts himself, 
he wants to bury any idea that he may belong anywhere else. So... He 
vilifies the other place to make it easier to defend his inclusion in 
the place he wants to be.

Forgive the pop. psycology (some of my friends would kill me for 
that), I know it's not that simple - but it does explain why he is so 
unwilling to see good in the Slytherins or the vitues of that house 
(despite Dumbledore's championing of their cause - a sign that JKR 
doesn't see them as all evil)
