I have always believed that the general assumption that all dark wizards have been sorted into Slytherin is because best well known ones, ie, Voldemort were sorted into that house. I've always believed that Pettigrew (another dark wizard in my opinion) was placed into Gryffindor, and the same could be said about the other houses - that they each have their fair share of dark wizards. In all the classifications that the sorting hat has declared it has never said that purity of blood (Voldemort is half-blood) or hatred/anger at muggles was necessary. Did Voldemort even know that he was a wizard before his hogwarts letter?

One of the slytherin traits is that they want some kind of power - whether it is magical, political, strength etc... and some might see taking the 'dark path' might be easier to gain political (world) domination. But in truth it is just a short term solution as there is always someone ready to take their place. To get his point across Voldemort would have been better to work his way up the ministry ladder (and become MOM)and invested in muggle industry! He would therefore be rich and have enough power to state some regulations dictating his personal beliefs.
