Hi all...I never post...except for today! Let me know what you think!

Bloodlines
.and Harry Potter (a hypothesis)
What we know for sure is that Tom Riddle (a.k.a. Lord Voldermort) was
born to a witch and a muggle. His father rejected him and his mother
died giving birth to him.
Now the hypothesis: What if Tom Riddle's mother actually gave birth
to twins, the other child being a girl. Hence, there were now
actually two heirs of Slytherin. The girl grew up as a muggle, and
showed no magical powers. Later she married a man named Evans, and
gave birth to two daughters, Petunia and Lilly. (Lilly being born
when she was 33 years old.) Unexpectedly Lilly showed magical
powers, and was invited to come to Hogwarts. There she met James
Potter, they married and had a child named Harry.
Continuing on with the hypothesis: What if James Potter was a direct
descendent of Gryffindor? Harry Potter would then have the blood of
both Gryffindor and Slytherin in his veins. Lord Voldermort
discovered this and recognized that Lilly was his niece, and that
Harry possibly could be the greatest wizard ever known. His goal was
to kill Harry. Perhaps he felt honor bound not to kill his niece, a
descendent of Slytherin, but Harry was not pure Slytherin, and thus
in his mind, it was acceptable to kill him. Lord Voldermort,
however, underestimated the Slytherin power of Lilly Potter. Her
love and her Slytherin blood protected Harry. Could one Slytherin
kill another without suffering the consequences? The essence of
Slytherin love for her child was upon Harry (could the lightening
bolt scar on Harry's forehead really be a scar of a serpent?), and
thus the curse Lord Voldermort sent to Harry rebounded back to
himself with disastrous effect.
This hypothesis could explain many clues in the story of Harry
Potter. Harry's physical similarity to Lord Voldermort, his ability
to speak Parseltongue. Harry's ability to open the Chamber of
Secrets. Additionally, it could explain the look of triumph in
Dumbledor's eyes when he learns that Lord Voldermort has taken some
of Harry's blood into himself to recreate his body. It could make
Lord Voldermore as powerful as Harry. However, it could also temper
his bloodline with the more noble qualities of Gryffinder. We know
that the memory form of Tom Riddle could grow stronger when it fed
off the fear and negative thoughts of another. We know that Quirrel
could not touch Harry without being burned as long as Lord Voldermort
shared his body and soul. It would seem obvious then that Harry's
blood (containing Gryffindor blood) would cause some effect on Lord
Voldermort's person.
