[HPforGrownups] Voldemort's Heritage

[Signe Cluiss]

No: HPFGUIDX 12007

Maybe not everyone knows that Voldemort is half-Muggle.

Also, his mother was the witch, and his father was the Muggle.

What I want to know is how Voldemort was the heir to the Chamber of Secrets? 
  Ususally, the line is passed through the father's side and if that is so, 
how can he be the heir of Slytherin when his MOTHER was the witch?  Any 
ideas?
