And now, me (Big D):

That's pretty much the basis of my long-held idea (mentioned in more 
detail in post #104120) that all of this goes back to some sort of 
dispute between Slytherin and Gryffindor, and that the resolution of 
this ancient conflict will be found in Voldemort and Harry, who are 
(I think) both heirs of those Founders. 

Someone asked in a reply to that message (which I only recently 
saw...too many messages to try and keep up with around here!) what 
exactly happened with that original dispute, other than Slytherin 
leaving the school? That I could not answer, but I think JKR may 
shed a little more light on the subject pretty soon, assuming of 
course that any of my ideas are actually valid.
