BOOK QUOTE

"What house are your brothers in?" asked Harry.

"Gryffindor," said Ron. Gloom seemed to be settling on him again. "Mom
and Dad were in it, too. I don't know what they'll say if I'm not. 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. He flopped back into his seat, looking depressed.

END BOOK QUOTE


Sounds to me like he is making out that Slytherin is the 'evil/bad'
house and it would be a great shame on his family if he ended up there. 
Like, just because Voledemort was from that house that it would ruin him
somehow if he was picked for that house...
