I'm behind you on this one. The two possibilities are that Harry is
the biological heir to Gryffindor legacy, or that Harry is the most
Gryffindorious (I love it when I get to make up words) of all
Gryffindors and is therefore 'the chosen one'; the one who is worth to
carry the torch. 

I speculate as an illustration, that Fawkes is the keeper of the
legacy. Whom ever Fawkes choses as his new master becomes the next
'King of Gryffindors'. 

King Arthur became King not by some provable line of blood but because
the next true heir, the one person worth of becoming king would be the
man who could pull the sword from the stone. King by birthright of
worthiness, not by birthright of blood.

Me:
...and he just /happens/ to be the son of Uther.

It can really depend on which version of the legend you're following.
