[Harry Potter] If I was accepted as a student at Hogwarts, and I went there with the goal of infiltrating and reforming Slytherin from the inside, would the sorting hat sort me into Slytherin?

Say I came from a family like Ron's, where I knew about the wizarding world and the history of Hogwarts. I understood the dark history of Slytherin, but, being an 11 year old, thought that they could be reformed and made to be a good house. To use their cunning and ambition to help people instead of hurt them.  

Would the sorting hat stick me in Slytherin?

This particular ambition is somewhat unnecessary. Slytherin is misunderstood. Historically, using their cunning and ambition to help rather than hurt is precisely what most Slytherins did. Hell, *Merlin*, the most respected wizard of all time, was in Slytherin and everyone knows it. It's true that historically notable Dark Wizards are more likely to be Slytherins than any other Hogwarts House, but the annals of history are full of complete bastards from every house-- it just happens that at the time Harry went to school, most of Voldemort's "former" supporters happened to have school-age kids of their own that had been raised in an environment where being an evil prick was normalized.

However that sort of grand design definitely makes you a good candidate for Slytherin-- you just might have to find another goal to point yourself towards.
