I'm pretty sure young Slytherins realize that they're in the despised 
House right at their sorting.  We've seen the Weasley twins hiss little 
ones sorted into Slytherin.  And while the twins are rather nasty in 
and of themselves, the fact that no one tried to stop them (either 
teacher or prefect) suggests to me that this sort of behavior is rather 
typical.

I've always pictured one of the Slytherin prefects giving the first 
years a sort of welcome to Slytherin talk where they're told that 
everyone in the school will think the worst of them, but not to worry, 
the rest of the school sucks and Slytherins stand up for their own.
