There's Ron and Harry's conversation in SS/PS ch. 6:
*****
[Ron said] "I don't suppose Ravenclaw *would* be too bad, but 
imagine if they put me in Slytherin."

"That's the house Vol-, I mean, You-Know-Who was in?"

"Yeah," said Ron.
******
Of course we don't know the source of Ron's knowledge, but it 
does seem that everyone, not just Hagrid, knows Voldemort was 
in Slytherin.
