Unless I misunderstood you, wouldn't that give Harry the bloodline of
THREE of the founders of Hogwarts; Gryffindor, Slytherin, and Hufflepuff?

Too bad there isn't a way to integrate Ravenclaw into this theory,
that would give him the bloodlines of all four founders. Something
like the daughter of Ravenclaw marrying the son of
Gryffindor/Hufflepuff and their daughter marries the son of Slytherin. 

just a thought.
