"Slytherins. Never forget that HARRY almost got sorted to Slytherin! 
So HE would have been a "good Slytherin" if he hadn't been biased 
against that house by Ron on the train, and begged the Hat not to put 
him there. (Heck, maybe he'd have led a Slytherin reform movement!)"

CathyD now:
I never believed that for a moment.  The Sorting Hat never mentioned Slytherin until after Harry said, repeatedly, "Not Slytherin, not Slytherin."  Based on, of course, Hagrid's comment that "There's not a single witch or wizard who went bad who wasn't in Slytherin.  You-Know-Who was one." and Ron wondering what his parents would say if, they and the family all being Gryffindors, he was sorted into Slytherin.
