Heir of Slytherin

Has there been any evidence to say that Harry is not the heir of 
Slytherin?

I ask this question first based on the statement by JKR that one 
scene had to stay in CoS because it was important long term to the 
story.  I'm thinking of the scene where Hermione says "Harry for all 
we know you could be the heir of Slytherin".  I'm also struck by 
this because of Hermione's track record on statements like this.

Second I ask this because Harry is a Parselmouth.  He often has been 
mentioned with snake like terms.  Example is Malfoy in front of 
Fudge and there has been other casual reference to snakes in suttle 
ways.

Third is the sorting hat it wanted to put Harry in Slytherin.  But 
he wasn't because of the choices he made not because of who he is.  
The sorting hat in OoP talks about uniting the school what better 
way to truely unite the school then if Harry was the heir of 
Slytherin.  That would bring the house together.

I'm not saying Harry is the Heir of Slytherin.  But like Hermione 
says for all we know you could be.


This note has nothing to do with above post but wouldn't it be funny 
if the person to learn magic latter in life was the Ultimate Muggle 
Uncle Vernon.
