I mark myself a Slytherin. Yepp, I said it and I feel no shame.
After all, we can't say that all of them are bad. (Regulas Black, and Severus Snape being notable examples.) as well as Narcissa Malfoy and Horace Slughorn (the fun, jolly fellow he is)(As noted in comments)
Its just a house with a bad rap, because of a few bad people.
Saying all Slytherins are evil would be like saying Germany is an evil, and horrible country JUST because Adolf Hitler originated there.
My personal opinion is that, yes some Slytherins went as bad as you could go, but others just got wrapped up in the "misconceptions."
Many Slytherins are not evil, they are strong willed, independent, ambitious, and cunning people who desire to be the best.
And on a further note, lets look at a few less then 'chivilrous' Gryffindors.
Peter Pettigrew- Enough said I do believe.
James Potter, however brave and loyal, was an arrogant bully.
Did the king Gryffindor himself, Albus Dumbledore not dabble (however temporarily) in the Dark Arts himself?
So what say you Gryffindors, who have turned blind eyes to your fellows, who are less then Gryffindor-esque
Dumbledore said, "Its our choices that make us who we are"
So weather a person is evil or not, isnt based on the house they were put in, its based off of they choices thay make within that house.
Do they choose to conform to the hipe, and be evil, muggle hating freaks, or do they choose to be good, and attempt to break the reputation?
SLYTHERINS AREN'T EVIL
Just leave us alone people.

I thought of all these myself, so don't go saying I copied off of you!

Harry woke with a start as Teddy’s cries pierced the small room. He groggily climbed out of the warm bed and stumbled over to the bassinet by the window. In the moonlight he could see that Teddy’s hair was bright pink. Chuckling to himself, he lifted the baby out of the crib and started over to the rocking chair.
He fed Teddy some warm milk.He stopped crying. Harry smiled,and Teddy smiled back.Harry put him back in the crib.Instantly Teddy fell asleep.
