Heir of Slytherin ... or NOT???

What are the odds that Tom Riddle/Voldemort is not the true Heir of
Slytherin but the self-proclaimed Heir of Slytherin.

How much could Tom Riddle possibly know about his mother? I have
wondered for along time if Tom didn't discover that he was
parslemouth, and in a stretch of his obviously delusional thinking,
conclude that he must be the heir of Slytherin.

It would seem like just the thing that an insecure, low self-esteem,
borderline psychotic with delusions of grandeur would create in his
own mind to support his delusions and justify his actions. 

I'm not really convinced that he IS the heir of Slytherin. I think
this is another fantasy he created to avoid the mundane reality of his
true existance.

It so much easier to be a 'god' when you have convinced yourself that
you are the son of a 'god'. 

Just a thought.
