Who were the Potters?

This may seem like a silly question, but what are the odds that Godric 
Gryffindor only has one heir (then two, with the birth of Harry)?  I assume 
that most wizarding families aren't as...numerous as the Weasleys.  
Nonetheless, we're looking at MANY generations of people!  There should be a 
multitude of heirs, right?  Perhaps I misunderstand the meaning of the word 
heir, but this is something that's always bothered me about heir!Harry.

(I realize, of course, that this argument applies equally well to Slytherin 
and Riddle.)
