The Sorting Hat couldn't decide if Harry was best suited to Gryffindor or Slytherin. Harry asked specifically not to be placed into Slytherin house and because he was suited to both houses his choice was taken into consideration.
One of the reasons Harry had traits of Slytherin was because he was one of Lord Voldemort's Horcruxes which meant he had a piece of Voldemort's soul inside him and so those personality traits came through.
