I have nothing to do with Harry's destiny. He's not destined to 
*anything* because he's Gryffindor's "heir," no, "He destined because 
he was BORN AT THE END OF JULY TO DEFIANT PARENTS! Not an Heir, no, 
not the long awaited descendent of Godric Gryffindor, no! <SNIP>

NEVILLE could have been the One with the power...

<Atropos G.>  You are a talented raconteur to be sure-tears welled in 
the corners of my eyes at this wild Fairy Tale.  Fortunately I had 
previously read the non-fiction record of events.

The coming war and final battles, etc. will indeed have something to 
do with the Godric Gryffindor-big deal that the prophecy says it 
could have been Neville-have we forgotten, he, too is a Gryffindor?

Ultmately, when faced with the destruction of all they know and love, 
I feel we will see seevral Slytherins, past and present "join" with 
the other houses.  But, JKR has not wasted a lot of foreshadowing and 
time establishing that Gryffindors will play a key role in salvation.

Perhaps she never meant it to be a single heir, or even an heir as we 
assume "by bloodline"  she may simple have meant that the forces will 
be shown the way or led by a Gryffindor.
