The good Slytherin

I keep reading about 'the good slytherin' and just wondered where 
this came from.  Is it something Jo has said (I can't find anything) 
or is it just a myth?

Having said that, and never one to look a gift horse in the mouth!, 
it made me think the following:

If there is a good Sltherin, I think Viktor Krum is it.  He comes 
from Durmstrang, which appears to be a school full of Syltherins - 
they are taught to use the Dark Arts, not just to defend themselves 
against them, their Headmaster is a Deatheater and they all 
naturally gravitated to the Slytherin table in the great hall.  VK, 
however says many times that he likes Hogwarts and it's nicer than 
Durmstrang.  

I then wondered further as to what happened to SS after he threw his 
teddy out of the pram and stormed out of Hogwarts because the other 
founders kept insisting on admitting 'the wrong' sort of students.  
Did he flounce off to Bulgaria where he could set up his own school 
the way he wanted?  Are the Durmstrang students literally Slitherins?
