But please keep in mind that it was just *Hagrid* who said, "There 
wasn't a witch or wizard who went bad that wasn't in Slytherin" 
[paraphrased].  In CoS, JKR says that MORE of the dark wizards came 
from Slytherin than from any of the other houses; she doesn't say 
they ALL came from Slytherin.  I don't have my book w/ me at work 
[shhhh!  I'm NOT checking HPfGU at work!!!], but if anyone would like 
chapter & verse on this statement, I'll get it later today.  

When I read this statement in CoS last night, I was able to take 
Hagrid's SS/PS comment as just a tad bit of hyperbole.
