Tom Riddle was 16 years old fifty years ago in COS. 
The Lexicon puts his birth in 1927.  He's definitely
old enough to be James's father and Harry's grandad. 
In fact, he's just the right age.

It's Dumbledore who says Voldemort is the last
remaining descendant of Slytherin.  But Dumbledore may
not know that Riddle had a son.  For that matter
neither James nor Voldemort may know it.  Till I get
more conclusive evidence on the matter, I will believe
in the kinship.

My reasons for believing it I wrote in a message on
the "fatal child" theory.  If you've the time or
inclincation, read through my message 38784.
