Welcome Peter!

     I agree with you theory almost entirely. I DO NOT see how 
Voldemort and Harry would be related. JKR even mentioned in an 
interview at the question of weather Voldemort was really Harry's 
father or something and she replied: 'Well that would be very Star 
Wars wouldn't it?'. Unless she was teasing to get people distracted 
from the idea but even then I can't really see it happening. As you 
said there is only one tiny fringe of cannon to support this. And 
that support is very scarce, just because someone has the same colour 
hair as another does not make them instant relatives. I'm sure there 
are red heads in Slytherin but this does not make them long lost 
relatives of the Weasleys (an -as far as we know-  almost entirely 
Gryffindor legacy.) 

     I also agree that Harry could be the descendant of Godric 
Gryffindor- this however may be a little cliche- however if going on 
the basis that Voldemort is the only last remaining descendant of 
Salazar Slytherin *maybe* just maybe Harry is not the *sole* 
descendant of Godric Gryffindor but prehaps the only last remaining 
descendent like Voldemort. This might explain why Voldemort was after 
James- not saying that he was the direct descendant but it could've 
been James' grand-father and the killing of James and Harry as was 
his intention would've killed off the last of the descendants of 
Gryffindors legacy whether direct or not. 

     As for the Arthur/Lucius dueling is entirely possible as this 
was set up slightly in cannon in CoS during the Flourish and Blotts 
escapade. I haven't really thought all that much about this subject 
but I suppose it could very likely happen. 

     All in all I think that the reason that they are fighting other 
then that the Voldemort=Salazar and Harry=Gryffindor is that it is 
the classic struggle betweeen good and evil. Harry represents 
everything that is good in the wizarding world (not to say that Harry 
is perfect because he isn't and he makes his makes his mistakes what 
I mean by everything that is good is that he is fighting of the good 
of the Wizard World.) while Voldemort represents all of the evils, 
and predijuces in the entire world and that this could be the last of 
the big struggles between good and evil. As for now all we can do is 
sit around and hope that history repeats its self and that good will 
prevail over evil.
