[HPforGrownups] Why LV must kill Harry?

""Wait! Harry cannot be the Heir of
Slytherin! He is in Gryffindor!" when the students were whispering that
he must be the heir because he spoke Parsletongue. A reasonable
conclusion is that heir-ship doesn't mean that one will be in one house
or the other, because if it did, then the fact of Harry being in
Gryffindor should've been enough for people like Ernie MacMillain."

Just an idle thought, but the major nazis looked nothing like their ideal.

  The thing is, in CoS, nobody said, "Wait! Harry cannot be the Heir of
  Slytherin! He is in Gryffindor!" when the students were whispering that
  he must be the heir because he spoke Parsletongue. A reasonable
  conclusion is that heir-ship doesn't mean that one will be in one house
  or the other, because if it did, then the fact of Harry being in
  Gryffindor should've been enough for people like Ernie MacMillain. The
  hat, it seems, looks for qualities - and Harry's also got a bit of
  Slytherin's heir in him, as a bit of Riddle!Voldemort became part of
  Harry when the curse backfired back in 1981. Hence, if he is the heir of
  Gryffindor, then he's now got a bit of both in him.
