It's possible there ISN'T an Heir of Gryffindor and other matters

It is conceivable that the whole Heir business is limited to Salazar 
Slytherin, who, if legends are true -- Warning, Warning, "Salazar As 
Genocidal Insitgator, Teaching Terrible Attitudes Resulting In 
Unbearable Sorrow (SAGITTARIUS) Theory at work here -- obviously has 
an agenda that he needs someone to follow.

To whit, he needs someone to open the damn Chamber.

Now, we've gone under the assumption that Godric would also have his 
Heir working against Salazar, but it's possible that there isn't one, 
and Harry is just an honorable, good person who happens to be in 
Gryffindor.

Let's see, onto other things.

* This Snape as vampire, dhampire, damn pyre, umpire, empire, 
whatever. It's amusing. BUT, keep in mind that there are several 
different mythologies of the vampire. In some, garlic has an effect. 
In others, it doesn't. In the Bram Stoker version, a vampire can go 
out during the day. In the White Wolf version, a vampire can't.

So, any clues regarding Snape's activities and whether he's a vampire 
needs to remember that we don't know what the vampire rules are in 
JKR's world. The fact that he's out in daylight is not necessarily 
proof against.

* I really hope we're done with Animagi for a while. And I hope no 
one is Polyjuiced for a while.

* Jenny from Ravenclaw must not have seen my post on Trelawney being 
a Ravenclaw. Darn it.

* OK, anyone who is posting band names or other responses to me in 
any, and I mean ANY, thread with "OOP" in it, save your fingers. I'm 
not reading a single thread that has "OOP" in the title.

I plan to disappear from this board for at least a few days before 
OOP is released and I'm not coming back until I've read it twice.
