Are you insinuating that Voldemort's taint as it were effected Harry's 
personality down to that level?  That his ambition isn't his own, that his want to 
proove himself isn't his own?  And his courage?  What good is ambition if you 
don't have the guts to do it your self?  Voldie took a risk getting where he 
was, and that takes courage, why did he go to the Potter's house?  courage.  He 
backs himself up with action, his own action.

*thinks for a bit* Ya know there are a lot of "Harry gets sorted to Slytherin 
instead of Gryffindor" What about a "Harry Gets sorted into Hufflepuff" fic?

How could he?  Was Salazar a Seer?  could he see the future?  How could he 
have known?

by reproducing?  Intresting thing to note: snakes are near universal 
sex/fertility symbols.  Could that be why Sal as desendants still around?
