His mom, Lily, was in Slytherin House, wasn't she?

Nope! Well... maybe. We don't know--there's no canon I've ever, ever seen. But she does have green eyes which is good enough for me, lol. (mumbles something about Lily being the good non-Snape Slytherin he's been looking for)

Eowynn:

So this whole topic has been bothering me for a while, but I didn't have any canon to back up what I thought to be true, and I wasn't sure if it was just movie contamination, but I was sure that somewhere DD mentioned that LV (aka Tom Riddle)was the last remaining ancestor of Salazar Slytherine. I didn't have my book with me when this topic first came up, and I have been kind of ignoring it for the last little while, until now. 

CoS pg.332 (US edition):  "You can speak Parseltongue, Harry...because Lord Voldemort- who is the last remaining ancestor of Salazar Slytherine- can speak Parseltongue..."

So I guess what I am wondering is if the canon says that LV is the last heir, how did we get that Lily (a mudblood) could be the heir?
