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.

Iris again:
I didn't integrate in my post Rowena Ravenclaw because of the first Sorting Hat's song in which it is said that she was "old" (well, she was a whitch, but as an old woman, would she have been able to give birth to a child?). But you are true, it would be interesting if Harry were the heir of the four bloodline. Let's see... Godric and Helga on one hand, Salazar and Rowena on the other. If we keep on mind that Rowena was old yet when they founded Hogwarts, if Salazar was her husband, that could mean they both were senior wizards. In that case, they could have had children before founding the school. One of them could be an adult yet, and integrate the adulterine relationship theory... Well, well, it's just theory, I'm not going to write a fanfic. Furthermore, there are so many possible combinations between those "ancestors" that it would be too long. However, it would fit with reading the HP series as a modern version of Greek tragedy. Greek heroes and gods share most of the time the same blood. Greek mythology is a vast catalogue of adulterine and incestuous relationships. This can be said also about Egyptian mythology. In both case we are talking about myths. And who can denie that Harry Potter is a myth?
