''Slytherins tend to be ambitious, shrewd, cunning, strong leaders, and achievement-oriented. They also have highly developed senses of self-preservation. This means that Slytherins tend to hesitate before acting, so as to weigh all possible outcomes before deciding exactly what should be done.''

- Harry Potter wiki 

And add that they like to keep old traditions, of course many of them would follow Voldemort. But something that always seems forgotten is that there actually were good Slytherins during that time too. They weren't talked about much or at all since they weren't that important to the story, but not every Slytherin followed Voldermort.

All of these can actually be really good traits, and I myself is a Slytherpuff (I've taken many tests and I always get one of those two) and that's really not a strange combination. All houses are more alike than admitted.

And I really can't see them all in Gyrffindor. To be a Gryffindor you're supposed to be daring, nerve, and chivalry. And sure, they're all very brave but if they didn't have to be brave, would they still be?
