Is it possible that the Weasley's are the heir's of Slytherin?
Voldemort may be an heir of Slytherin, but what if the Weasley's are
too?
In OOTP Sirius tells Harry that pure bloods are all related. Maybe
the Weasley's are related to Salazar Slytherin?! In book 2 Voldemort
was not the one to open the chamber of secrets, his diary was; and
Tom Riddle wasn't human yet so the only way the chamber was opened
was via the body of Ginny--another Slytherin heir?
What's interesting in book two is that the diary (or rather Tom
Riddle) can only be reborn via sucking the life out of Ginny. Maybe
he needed to specifically use a Slytherin heir to be reborn again.
And why did Riddle choose Ginny anyway? He could have picked any
other kid, like Malfoy, who is also a pureblood (he would have been
only to happy to open the chamber).
So why choose a Weasley?
In book 2 when Collin Creevey is petrified, Dumbledore says to
McGonagal: 'The question is not who has done this, but how?'
Dumbledore knows that Voldemort is not in the school at this time,
but he doesn't know that the diary exists; so, he must know that
there is another (or other) Slytherin heir(s) at the school.
Therefore Dumbledore knows who the heir(s) is (are) but he does not
know how the chamber was opened. Hence his remark: 'The question is
not who has done this, but how?'
It is interesting that Riddle did not choose Ron, George, or Fred to
open the chamber (Lucius could have easily put the diary in with
their books). He chose Ginny because she was a "silly little girl"
(who would not attract attention).
I think that Riddle's big mistake was choosing Ginny because I think
she is going to turn out to be a very powerful witch. She may also
have gained some of Voldie's power via their personal encounter (just
like Harry did through his encounter with Voldemort).
There is a wizard geneology book back at the OOTP headquarters that
someone will probably read in book 6 or 7. Sirius uses the book to
smash a spiderlike thing that grabs onto Harry (during the house
decontamination section). The book will be mentioned again! It's the
only reason why the title of the book would be stated in the first
place. Maybe someone will trace back their origins and make a
startling discovery.
If the Weasley's are descended from Slytherin it would prove that
destiny is shaped by the person and not by their heredity.
