The sorting hat considered putting Harry into Slytherin, as Dumbledore
explained at the end of Chamber of Secrets, because when Voldemort zapped
Harry he ended up giving Harry a significant amount of his power. The hat
detected both the Gryffindor and the Slytherin influences in Harry and
that's why it took so long trying to decide which house to put Harry in.

I still like the theory.
