Prophecy and Tom Riddle vs. Voldemort (theroy on the Major plot)

I have a theroy of my own regarding the prophecy, Tom Riddle and 
Voldemort. I have written this rather quickly so I apoligize in 
advance if it jumps quickly from one line of thought to another. 

My theroy is based on Possession. We have seen numerous occurances of 
this. First in Voldemort's Possession of Quirrell. Then we saw him 
(even in his early stages in life) possess Ginny Weasley. We have 
even seen him take over Harry in "Order". That said, we know that 
Voldemort is capable of possessing people. 

With that in mind, lets let history into this theroy. The printing of 
the books suggest a current timeline (circa the 1990s). 

With that fact certain, we also know that Tom Riddle went to Hogwarts 
around the mid 40s (right during the time of WW2). Voldemort is most 
famous for 2 things... 1.) for his work with Nicolas Flammel (PS/SS) 
2.) For defeating the dark Lord Grimmuwald (sp?) also in the mid 40s. 

Taking that into consideration, isn't it possible, that with his 
defeat around the same time as Tom Riddle becomes Voldemort that Tom 
Riddle himself was Possessed by Grimmuwald (sp?)??? 

Being defeated may have meant not having a body and who better than 
Tom Riddle? An aspiring wizard for power and vengence? We see a 
switch of Tom's eyes from Green to Red (A MAJOR PLOT CHANGE TO BE 
SURE) and he loses his humanity. 

To take this a bit further we must then say that when Voldemort went 
to kill Harry as a baby Tom Riddle was physically killed. As we know, 
a physical version of Tom Riddle has not since surfaced. In fact, in 
Sorcerer's/Philosopher's stone, we find him in posession of a weaker 
wizard in Quirell. 

When Harry saves the stone, Voldemort again survives in spirit while 
Quirell physically dies. In COS, we find a young Tom Riddle who seems 
to suggest almost a serviceability to Voldemort (and speaks of him in 
third person) rather than Voldemort being himself. In POA we don't 
see a physical Voldemort at all. We don't see a body reborn until 
Voldemort takes part of Harry and creates a new body for himself. In 
fact, none of the death eaters acknowledge Tom Riddle at all. Thus 
they don't acknowledge his muggle born history. In essence, if Riddle 
IS voldemort, then he is contradicting his own existence with his 
philosophy vs. his heritage.

In essense, Tom Riddle is small potatoes in the big scheme of things, 
he is only one of a handful of dark Wizards who have (by my theroy) 
given servitude to a dark Wizard over the span of time. Quirell to 
Voldemort, Riddle to Grimmiuald (sp) which leads us to Grimuwald(sp) 
to... SALAZAR SLITHERIN?

Could Salazar Slytherin be going age to age (finding powerful magic 
users that either submit to being possessed or are taken forceably)? 
If so, is the same true of a bloodline of Godric G as well? Could the 
two have been battling each other over the ages like some cosmic 
struggle in the midst of the world that they are trying to 
rule/protect respectively? 

Do we find the final chapter in this saga ending with a person 
(harry) that has BOTH Slytherin AND Griffindor (sp) blood in them? 
And ultimately the choice that he makes is what stops the cycle? 

Harry would most likely be that person, and the mistake was 
Voldemorts. He knew the phrophecy and instead of killing the next 
heir of Griffindor's bloodline (Neville). He instead marked (and 
still does target) Harry. Harry (however) is a combination of Godric 
Griffindor's line (from his father) and Salazar Slytheri's bloodline 
(from his Mother) and thus has the power to fulfill the phrophecy and 
kill it off so that one can not continue without the other. This may 
be satisfied with Harry's death, or with Harry's choice of which side 
he will ultimately choose.

The green eyes seem to indicate a link to Slytherine (sp) so Harry 
certainly may have the link to his bloodline. Additionally, I would 
argue that the reference to his hair (a gift from James) holds some 
type of comparison to a Lion's mane from Griffindore's bloodline. As 
we know, physical characteristics are very important in the plot of 
Rowlings mystery. 

In essence I would argue that Voldemort is not some johnny come 
lately over the last 50 years, but rather the spirit of an evil force 
who has taken over those willing to survive and continue his goal of 
making the world his own. Godric's bloodline seems destined to stop 
him. By Dumbledore's own admission he suggests that there needs to be 
another who needs to stop the force that "is" Voldemort "the next 
time".  Dumbledore did his stopping by defeating Grummwald (sp). Tom 
Riddle was stopped by Harry. This means this new form of Voldemort 
(salazar) must be stopped by... Neville?

While I haven't had a chance to really form this into a concrete 
conclusion to the theroy, I am imaging that the evil that is 
voldemort (and the significance in stopping him once and for all) is 
not some evil that just came along in the last 50 years. Something 
about Dumbledore's attitude suggests some longer term struggle that 
he has built a stategy for over decades if not centuries.
