He grew up in a Muggle orphanage in the 1930s - think OLIVER! or ANNIE 
without the fun, music & jokes...  They weren't pretty, they weren't nice - that 
alone would be enough, I think, to turn him against Muggles.

There's also the beliefs of Salazar Slytherin himself - IMHO, once Tom 
started studying them, he'd only have had his hatred heightened.
