Me:
But it doesn't go against canon.  Your reference above misquotes that 
part of CoS.  DD says that V is the last *ancestor* to Slytherin.  
That choice of wording (versus heir or descendent) gives a much 
different meaning to the statement.  

As I pondered in a post yesterday, I wondered if V *could* actually 
be Lily's father (in a scenario similar to that described in the 
first part above).  He was 65 when Harry was 12 (Riddle was 15 when 
CoS was opened 50 years before); if Lily was, say 21 years older than 
Harry, then Riddle/LV could (age-wise, anyway) conceivably be Lily's 
unknown dad, having been about 32 when she was born.  We have only 
been told that Tom Riddle disappeared for years after leaving 
Hogwart's and then turned up again as Lord Voldemort, and no one 
knows what he was doing during that time.

Riddle was an extremely talented wizard, we've been told.  Lily was 
also quite talented.  Maybe that's where she got it - heredity.
