JKR's statement that too many of the people on the chat she 
attended  identified with Slytherin. It really sounds like she 
considers  Slytherins the bad guys.  <

Erm, that's not exactly what she said.

"I was concerned to find that many of the moderators feel their 
spiritual home is Slytherin"


 I don't think there's any question but JKR believes that Gryffindor 
values are spiritually superior to Slytherin ones and wants us to 
think so too. That does not say that Slytherins themselves are 
morally inferior to Gryffindors. Slytherins, though schooled to be 
cunning, opportunistic and exclusionary, may just as freely 
choose to serve a greater good, while Gryffindors are every bit as 
capable of wrongdoing, despite that they ought to know better.
