Hey, I recently drew a picture of Godric Gryffindor and I gave him red hair 
too. It really suited him, especially with his symbol being the lion--he has 
a firey mane. You can see my drawing at  <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/audrahammer/godric.jpg">
http://www.geocities.com/audrahammer/godric.jpg</A>   I sort of modeled him after 
a young Richard Harris, since if someone's related to Gryffindor, Dumbledore 
is just as likely as anybody else...or all the Weasleys for that matter.  The 
sorting hat didn't have any trouble

As far as Harry being the heir to all four founders, it's certainly possible. 
 It was so long ago and the wizard community tending to keep to themselves 
more than not during most of that time, there's probably a few of wizards who 
can trace their bloodline back to one or more of the Hogwarts Founders. 
However, I don't see the bloodlines intermingling right away, like any of the 
Founders having children to together, or even any of their children marrying 
each other.  I think the lines got crossed a few more generations down.  

First, the Founders didn't seem to get along that well.  I think they joined 
together out of necessity because they were the 4 strongest wizards of their 
time and they were the best hope for the school's success.  We know they 
disagreed fundamentally on the students, and they separated each into their 
own corner of the castle.  Second, we don't know how old the Founders were 
when Hogwarts was built, but one or all could have been married with families 
of their own to begin with.
