I'm still not sure about it. First of all, the first movie had some 
differences from the book, like James being seeker instead of chaser. 
So I really don't think that a green tie in the movie is really a 
proove, that she was a Slytherin. I don't believe this until it is 
mention either by JK Rowling in an interview or in the books.
 
Second, I cannot imagine, that a Muggle-born was in Slytherin. After 
all, Salazar Slytherin never wanted them in Hogwarts, so why should 
they be sent in his house. Even if Myrtle were a Slytherin, we don't 
know, that she was muggle-born. Although Draco said, that 
a "mudblood" died 50 years ago, we cannot be absolutely sure, that it 
was true. Maybe Draco just heard, that someone died, and assumed it 
was a muggle child, because they were the first targets of the 
Slytherin monster. But we know, that Myrtle had to die because she 
saw Tom Riddle with the Basilisk in her bathroom. She was a witness 
and, from Tom's point of view, had to be killed off.
