yup, that is a logical problem.  If Harry truly is the Heir of Gryffindor 
(and he must be, since he was able to pull that sword out of the hat, and the 
hat was brought to him in the first place, by Fawkes, who I think was 
probably Godrick's phoenix -- right colors and all that), then he can't be 
Voldemort -- unless Tom Riddle was a Gryffindor -- what colors was he wearing 
when Harry saw him?  Has it been stated clearly somewhere that V. was a 
Slytherin, or have we just assumed it?  Curiouser and curiouser. . .
