Now me:

I'm pretty sure the point as gathered from CoS is that
Harry is not the *Heir* of Slytherin. He could still
possibly be related or even descended from Slytherin.
Just for example: I'm a descendent of my
great-grandmother but I'm not inheriting a thing when
she dies.

I still think this theory is very loose, but you never
know what JKR will throw at us.
