Slytherin house is againts anyone who's not born from magical blood ie muggles and muggleborns. As a half blood has at least one magical parent, they are accepted into Slytherin.
I don't think it was necessary for a Slytherin to be a pure blood.That was just another Slytherin trait,like pride, ambition,cunning etc.Not all Slytherins can have all these traits.That also happens in the rest of the houses.Voldemort was a half blood,but he became a Slytherin as well.
Slytherins are, according to the Sorting Hat, devious, secretive, cunning, and ambitious. The blood purity thing was not started at Hogwarts in itself, so far as I know. Quite possibly, when the hat saw Snape's mind, it could see his secrecy and cunning. The Sorting Hat can't tell if you're a pure-blold, half-blood, o Muggle-born.
It isn't because you're a half-blood o muggleborn that te can't be in slytherin. The sorting hat doesn't take account of the *purity* of your blood when he is choosing which house te will most fit in, but your values. If te are ambitious=slytherin, brave=gryffondor, hufflepuff=loyal, ravenclaw=clever. There are some muggleborns in slytherin but because of the majority of slytherins that have prejudice against them they tend to have low profile, to not be noticed. Because the don't want to be bullied. So please no. Just because you're a slytherin doesn't mean te can't be a muggleborn o half-blood.
SALAZAR Slytherin was pro pure blood. (although there is some evidence that he is più tolerant towards half-bloods being that the basilisk went after muggleborns. But that could just be Voldemorts view).
Regardless, Hogwarts itself (including the Houses and the sorting hat) does not base anything off of "blood" status. Students are sorted based on their traits. And quite frankly, Snape is very "Slytherin" (sly, cunning).

Wasn't the Basilisk just being controlled da Tom Riddle? As a parselmouth and the descendant of Salazar Slytherin, it would've followed his orders.
Yes, which is why that could just be Voldemort's view against muggleborns but being "ok" with half-bloods. He controlled the basilisk to go after muggleborns. As far as I am aware, we don't know Salazar's view on half-bloods (assumably he is against mating with muggles, but whether he discriminates against children when there isn't anything they can do about it is another matter)
Not to mention, technically, "half-blood" means having ANY muggle ancestor no matter how distant in the past, Harry is half-blood and doesn't have a muggle parent but muggle grandparents.
