I like the DD as "heir of Gryffindor" analysis and definitely think the idea
that one becomes the "heir of Gryffindor" because of what one DOES rather
than what one IS is very fitting with the theme of the books, esp. CoS.

I think the fact that DD sent James and Lily to live in Godric's Hollow fits
in with this theory, too.  (I know we don't know explicitly that he sent
them there, but I imagine that he did. He must have been involved in helping
them hide from Voldemort.)

I'm interested in what you say about the sword, though.  I always assumed it
materialized out the hat from the past because Harry needed it in the CoS.
Does everyone think that DD had it before that? (or does everyone in fact
KNOW that, and I just missed it somehow, wouldn't be the first time!)
