  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?

  In CoS (I can't tell you exactly where, because I don't have my book) Riddle says that he is related to Salazar Slytherin through his mother.  Perhaps in the wizarding world, they are not so sexist as to claim that one can only inherit a title, privelege, or whatever only through the male line.
