I think the standards have been relaxed since Salazar's time.  After 
all, Godric only wanted to take "those with brade deeds to their 
name."  I seriously doubt every 11 year-old ever sorted into 
Gryffindor had brave deeds to his or her name.

I was also told that JKR notebook said Millicent was half-blood (but 
I haven't seen the pictures so I don't know).
