make Harry's Slytherin traits as strong as his Gryffindor ones.  
Though Voldemort did mark Harry as his equal, Harry still has the 
power that LV knows not, the power in his *heart,* where he is, I'm 
sure, very much a Gryffindor.

I totally agree with you! Harry is definitely *more* Gryffindor than 
he is Slytherin! His Slytherin "connection" that might be there is 
maybe mostly due to Voldemort's accidental "bestowement" of "gifts" 
(or, he could of course theoretically be related to old Salazar as 
well... :-) So, by heart, Harry is a true Gryffindor, but because of 
Voldemort's little accident Harry might have some sort 
of "task"/purpose related to his Slytherin "heritage". So I agree 
with you; there's probably more to it than we have learned yet.
