Very original theory about the Masons, Finwitch!  I like it!

This theory about the Wealeys being Slytherin's heirs is believable as well.  
I bet that just chafes Lucius Malfoy's caboose if it's true.  But how would 
it fit into the grand scheme of things?  If the Potters are actually 
Gryffindor's heirs, then (dare I say it?) the marriage of Harry and Ginny 
would bring things full circle.  ;)

It's a bit contradictory though to my personal theory of the Potters being 
Slytherin's heirs.  I believe that Voldemort's ultimate goal since his 
Hogwarts days has been to achieve immortality.  That's what drives him.  The 
diary was an early attempt.  His reason for needing Harry dead somehow fits 
into this scheme.  Possibly killing off his other relatives is part of some 
ritual to achieve immortality (sort of like the Jet Li movie, "The One," but 
without the parallel universes).  But then Voldemort found out about the 
Philosopher's Stone and the Elixir of Life.  

When Harry has the stone at the end of the book Voldemort tells him, "Don't 
be a fool. Better save your own life and join me or you'll meet the same end 
as your parents."  He goes on to say, "Give me the Stone unless you want 
[your mother] to have died in vain."  Both of these quotes imply that once 
Voldemort has the Stone, and therefore the Elixir of Life, and therefore 
immortality, that Voldemort will no longer need to kill Harry.  If that is 
true, then it prooves that killing Harry is necessary to Voldemort's plan to 
achieve immortality.

The idea that James, and therefore Harry, are relatives of Voldemort has been 
used to  explain why Voldemort did not want to kill Lily.  He asked her to 
stand aside.  He told Harry, "Your mother needn't have died."  But there has 
to be more to it than that.  Since when does Lord Voldemort warn some 
inconsequential mudblood to stand aside, and years later express what could 
be construed as regret about killing her ("Your mother needn't have died.")?  
Lily must have been more than just unnecessary to Voldemort's goal.  She had 
to represent something to Voldemort, something that was worth giving one last 
chance to before he had to kill her.

Could the reason be connected to why Riddle's name sounded like a forgotten 
uncle to Harry in CoS?  If not only was James related to Voldemort's mother, 
but Lily somehow related to Voldemort's father, could that have meant 
something to Voldemort?  But why would it?  He hated his father.  Maybe 
Voldemort knew that a Riddle had gotten Lily's mother pregnant and left her 
too, and he felt some sort of kinship with Lily.  This who paragraph is just 
stream of consciousness, but maybeit will spark an idea in someone else.
