- i.e. all bad wizards came from Slytherin - not that all were bad - though the one-dimensionality of houses doesn't help the reader get this impression.

Potioncat:
At the time Hargrid made that statement, the 2nd worst wizard in the WW was a Gryffindor---Sirius Black. And even later when we find out he was innocent, the real culprit was another Gryffindor--Pettigrew. So we know his statement wasn't true and it appears his own prejudice against Slytherin had an affect on his view.
