Pardon me for my ignorance of your previous topics, I am new here and 
I had a silly thought while reading someones post. Also, I believe I 
have a good enough grasp on the English language to know what 
ancestor means, thank you. Apparently what I wrote after the ancestor 
part was not paid attention to. The issue here was whether or not 
Voldemort had children and my silly thought was maybe he did and he 
named his son Salazar Slytherin which would make him the ancestor of 
that SS, not the one who founded Hogwarts. Never did I ever subscribe 
to the theory that it wasn't a mistake in wording on JKRs part.
