ME:  No question he is the Heir of Slytherin.  Dumbledore himself said he was in CoS.  That isn't self-proclaimed at all.  Also to say that the legend of Slytherin is far more menacing then the old geezer himself is making presumptions that we know ABSOLUTELY nothing about. Just as to say he left the Basisisk behind just for "convienience" is also kind of far-fetched as we have no idea why he left it behind.  But a chamber like that and such a horrid deadly creature like that is a funny thing indeed to be leaving behind "just for convienience."  I think we cannot presume to know much of anything about good old Slytherin right now except that Tom Riddle IS his last decendent and heir. Whether Slytherin would have been proud of him or ashamed of him, we cannot even begin to guess. But there IS reasons to think that ridding Hogsworth of muggle-borns would be a good and noble task but there is no reason to think he would have approved of Lord Voldmort's attempts to ruthlessly and bloodily take over the world!
