Well, you might not think so, but that what's the Hat says. Either 
it's lying, or you must be mistaken. We do know that not everyone in 
Slytherin is pureblood, but then we do know that not everyone in 
Gryffindor is brave. Snape and Voldemort would have made the best 
Slytherins ever, but most lamentably fall short of the ideal where 
their ancestry is concerned.
