Vivian:"Couldn't DD be a direct descendent of GG since the hat, and
Fawkes belong to him?"

The Hat belongs to the school, Fawkes is DD's.

Vivian:"Harry could very well be the heir of GG since he exemplifies
all the qualities that GG values. I would think that unlike Salazar,
Godric would value the individual and not base worthiness on
blood-lines... So Harry could be the "chosen one" that can defeat
Voldemort due to the individual he is rather than due to the
"cleanliness" of his blood."

If you're suggesting that Harry is Gryffindor's *spiritual* heir, I
think that's a terrific idea.  He's exemplified the quantities
Gryffindor prized - and so Harry is a true Gryffindor, worthy of the
sword. Fits in nicely with Dumbledore's "choices" speech at the end of
CoS. Will Harry pick up that sword again?
