And before you argue with me about the "all Slyths are racist 
fools" thing, be 
prepared to show me one that isn't... in canon. Don't 
give 
me, "Well, there just 
HAS to be one who isn't."

Canon.

Alright.

Dumbledore turned gravely to Harry amd raised his goblet once more. Nearly everyone in the Great Hall followed suit. They murmered his name, as they had murmered Cedric's, and drank to him. But through the gap in the standing figures, Harry saw that Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle, and many of the other Slytherins had remained defiantly in their seats, their goblets untouched.

(GoF Page 723 US version)

Many of the Slytherins, but not all. Which means that some of the Slytherins joined in the toast to Harry. Which is, in itself, a brave action considering possible repurcussions from their housemates. And "many" doesn't even have to indicate "most". There may be other good people like Harry considered for Slytherin (and no, I don't think he was onyl considered for Slytherin because of V's attack on him, even Dumbledore points out that Harry exhibits qualities that Slytherin preferred.) who didn't have Harry's prejudice when they sat on the stool for their sorting.
