  First, let me say that I love this theory. I posted that it would be a hoot if the 
  good Slyth I've wanted is actually Salazar himself, cutting V-Mort loose when 
  the chips are really down.

  A couple of things to question it though.

  We know from Dumbledore that Riddle is the ancestor/descendant of 
  Slytherin. So, he is related, unless D-Dore is wrong or lying.

  But does that make him the "heir" in the sense of the "chosen one" sense of 
  the word? Not necessarily. Salazar probably had lots of descendants.

  Riddle WAS able to open the Chamber of Secrets. Now, whether Salazar set 
  it up to where any old Parselmouth could do it or not could be up for debate.

  But overall, I like this idea.

  Me (Izaskun):
  Well, I always thoutht that this thing with the Slytherin Heir has a weak point. It doesn't state the heir must be from his own blood. I think the whole idea of the Heir who'll come and reopen the chamber was more about someone with the ability to speak parseltongue and who was willing to continue Salazar's doings, purge the school of muggleborns and become a great wizard. Someone to walk on his footsteps, so to say. Not necesaryly a true descendant. 
  But anyway all this legend of the heir sounds a bit like the legend of the mesiah to me. 
  Cheers, Izaskun
