Er, to revise myself, I don't actually have any strong opinions (or 
canon) for any direct Slytherin involvement with the Sorting Hat (I 
think).  But if the hat is designed to represent the Founders and 
choose according to their preferred criteria (or at least to offer 
feedback or whatever), then it makes a lot of sense that Muggle-borns 
don't get into Slytherin House.
