Harry/Riddle

I've been away from this great list for a long time - but today I had 
(another) crazy thought that I want to throw in here.

Can Harry and Tom Riddle be one and the same - for some yet unknown 
reason living in different times? Is there any way? And what would it 
mean if so?

The reason I ask is because I got to think of some quotes (that may 
have nothing to do with each other when it comes down to it) and had 
them connected - as fx.:

1)Dumbledore: "In essense divided." 
2)Dumbledore: "The truth is a beautiful and terrible thing, and 
should therefore be treated with great caution."
3)Dumbledore: "It is our choises, Harry, that show what we truly are, 
far more than our abilities."
4)The Sorting Hat: "Not Slytherin, eh? Are you sure? You could be 
great, you know, it's all here in your head and Slytherin will help 
you on the way to greatness, no doubt about that."
5)The Prophecy: "...and either must die at the hand of the other for 
neither can live while the other survives..."

I could go on and on and am sure some of you can find more quotes to 
lead in that direction.... I may very well be on a very wrong track 
here - but what if the reason Voldemort couldn't kill Harry was 
because Harry was himself? Voldemort lost his body that night, trying 
to AK Harry - but had he killed Harry he would've died himself, too 
(assuming Voldemort and Harry are one and the same).

Not sure if anyone has an idea of where Im going with this. Not even 
sure if I have one myself. Was just thinking (and typing)....
Need book 6 - soon.
