I don't know how the "bad wizard" rap never extended to other houses. Like, I think Peter Pettigrew is up there with Lucius Malfoy, and he's a Gryffindor. Plus, he was a total punk and an annoying people pleaser. Without Peter Pettigrew, we could've avoided the entire second wizarding war.
Then there's Quirinus Quirrell, who tried to steal the Sorcerer's stone in Harry's first year but ultimately failed to contribute to Voldemort's comeback. He was still down with killing an eleven-year-old boy, though, which speaks for itself. He tried multiple times and he was a Ravenclaw.
This fact, paired with examples like Merlin, Snape, and Harry, prove that good and evil are not traits that belong specifically to a house. They belong to individual wizards.
