Hi everyone!
I have to say that I have a huge problem accepting all the Heir of 
Gryffindor theories that are posted on the site because I find that 
they contradict Dumbledore's speach about that it is our choices that 
are important and that they define what we are, not to which family 
we are born or what blood flows in our veins (he says something like 
this to Fudge in the hospital wing in GoF, but i do not know the 
excact wording since I do not have the books with me). To me that 
seem to imply that being a certains persons heir does not mean that 
you will save the world or something like that. I also think that 
this statement ensures that Harry is not just important because he 
belongs to the Potter family. I feel that he is special and important 
for some reason, but not because of his blood since JKR has so 
clearly stated that blood is not what makes a person important.
I apologise if i have totally misunderstood (or even imagined parts) 
of Dumbledores statement, but I do not have access to the books at 
the moment. If im wrong I would appriciate if someone could set me 
right. 
Please share any critisism or opinions that you might have.
