Has there ever been any discussion about the possiblity that the
spell did not work not only because of Lily sacrificing herself to
protect Harry, but also because Harry is the heir to Gryffindor and
the feather in Voldemort's wand was from Fawkes who was likely
Gryffindor's bird and therefore wouldn't work properly against his
true heir (like it wouldn't work properly against Harry's wand)?

Gryffindor blood in her somewhere, way back?  I think this is the
only way for both Cathy's great idea and this heir/blood-relation
idea to work.)

----Cathy (Me) again----
My thought is that to be the *true* heir, there would have to be blood from
both sides of the family.  This would mean, as much as he would like to deny
it, that Voldemort's "filthy, muggle father" had as much to do with him
being the heir of Slytherin as his witch mother.

Sure wish there was a painting of Godric Gryffindor hanging around...it
would be interesting to see if he happened to have green eyes.
