Why was Sirius Black not a Slytherin?

Sirius Black wasn't a Slytherin because he rejected his family's pure-blood supremacist beliefs and dark magic ideals, choosing rebellion and adventure over tradition, which led the Sorting Hat to place him in Gryffindor, alongside his future best friend James Potter, who openly disparaged Slytherin.
