Lady of the Pensieve:"I'm leaning towards the discovery of the sword
of Gryffindor that came out of the sorting hat, in hopes of Harry
being the true heir/descendant of GG. This fits with my theory that
Harry is a descendent of GG, and is why Harry and James needed to be
killed by Voldemort but Lily didn't have to die."

I like this idea, and I agree with you.  Remember? It seemed like a
foreshadowing then, many people thought so the minute they read it.

But since Harry's *not* the Half Blood Prince, then if he is the Heir
of Gryffindor, how will the two relate?  A half-blood Percival to
Harry's King Arthur? (If we really wanted to push this, then Harry
should have gotten the sword from the giant squid. Not as glamorous as
a Lady of the Lake, but you gotta work with what they give you.  On
the other hand, he might have been under the lake when he pulled the
sword out of his hat.) Will the DA find a round table in the Room of
Requirement?
