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.
