Harry's true purpose

After reading Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, I started 
thinking about all of the animals in the WW.  My favorite the 
griffin, JKR describes as having "the front legs of a giant eagle, 
but the body and hind legs of a lion." (pg 20)  It is an important 
animal in the HP series because in searching I have found that 
Gryffindor literally means "golden griffin" ( "or" is French for 
gold)  Harry's house is not named for a golden griffin per se, but 
for Godric Gryffindor.  The symbol for the Gryffindor house is not a 
griffin but favors the lion symbol of power.  The Sorting Hat almost 
put Harry in Slytherin, but Harry wound up in Gryffindor 
(thankfully).  In DD's eyes Harry is considered a true Gryffindor.
(CoS, pg. 334)  But consider this, Harry's parents lived in Godric 
Hollow...a coincidence...not in HP land.  The houses of Gryffindor 
and Slytherin are the antithesis of each other, good vs. evil.  LV 
was the heir of Slytherin, thus his main motivation centers on 
Harry's true purpose and identity, Harry is sole heir of Godric 
Gryffindor and can be seen as the king of wizards.  Think about it, 
where did Harry's fortune come from?  I believe its the trappings of 
royalty, the Gryffindor family jewels.  If the Potter wealth is 
inherited, it makes sense that James could afford an invisiblity 
cloak at such a young age, since they're rare and valuable SS pg. 201
Harry will find out his great secret and become the great wizard he 
is destined to be.
