No, no, I'm not saying that Hagrid's implying that all Slytherins
are evil. He defends Snape in SS/PS. I just don't like his claim
that all evils are Slytherin, even if all Slytherins aren't evil.
Your quote backs me up:

See, this makes me happy. It makes me happy because it admits that
all Gryffindors, Hufflepuffs, and Ravenclaws aren't all goodness and
light.
