It probably will be.

Voldemort may well be direct lineage from marriage of Salazar 
Slytherin and Rowena Ravenclaw and Harry similarly direct lineage of 
the marriage of Godric Gryffindor and Helga Hufflepuff.

And what would this mean? If Harry dies, Hogwarts would be Voldemort's 
property due inheritance - the only place so far that was *safe*! If 
Voldemort dies, it's Harry's! It's just that Harry's a minor - and 
thus cannot legally be in control...
