I'm sorry if I caused offence. 
It is true that I got lost in the family tree you proposed; I understood the 
overall concept better than the detail. The reference to "Uncle Voldamort" 
(sic) confused me.

But please note that my opening comment about Harry *not* being descended 
form Slytherin was an *agreement* with your statement that Harry is not 
Slytherin's heir.
It was a reply to someone else who, IIRC was challenging your theory on the 
grounds that canon said he wasn't a relative of Voldemort, which is not 
accurate. In other words, I was defending your theory, even though I don't 
subscribe to it personally.
IMHO, your reply would have been better directed towards the post to which I 
was replying.

So whilst I am very happy to acknowledge that I got the details wrong, I find 
the capitals, emphasising something that I neither suggested nor implied that 
you suggested, a little unnecessary.
