As far as I know, the only evidence that Harry is not the heir of
Slytherin is that Tom Riddle was able to open the Chamber of Secrets,
proving that he (Voldemort) is the heir of Slytherin. That's assuming,
of course, that there is only one heir of Slytherin.
I also believe Harry to be the heir of Gryffindor, for various reasons
(his parents come from Godric Hollow, as in Godric Gryffindor, and
numerous things that Dumbledore has said to Harry, such as "only a
true Gryffindor could pull that out of the hat" after he get
Gryffindor's sword from the sorting hat). But is that to say that
Harry can't be both the heir of Gryffindor and the heir of Slytherin?
His mom, Lily, was in Slytherin House, wasn't she?
Anyway, after the last book, I'm certainly intrigued to see what kind
of role Neville will play in all of this. Did Voldemort mess up when
he tried to kill Harry? Should he have gone after Neville instead? Is
he the true heir after all??
