As I'm reading the books for the first time, I found something interesting 
that is relevent this this topic.

Taken from DH ch23
'Slytherin,' said Harry automatically.
'Funny 'ow they all thinks we wants to 'ear that,' jeered Scabior out of the 
shadows. 'but none of 'em can tell us where the common room is.'
'It's in the dungeons,' said Harry clearly. 'You enter through the wall. It's 
full of skulls and stuff and it's under the lake, so the light's all green.'
There was a short pause.
'Well, well, looks like we really 'ave caught a little Slytherin,' said 
Scabior. 'Good for you, Vernon, 'cause there ain't a lot of Mudblood 
Slytherins. Who's your father?'

I didn't think ANY Mudbloods would be in Slytherin, but this suggests that 
there sometimes are, despite the founders pure-blood preference. Surely if 
there weren't any Scabior would proudly boast 'there are no Mudbloods in 
Slytherin.'
