 Angie wonders:

The question for me would be why, then, did the Sorting Hat consider 
placing Harry in SLytherin and why did it tell Harry he would have 
done well in Slytherin (if he was the true heir of Gryffindor)?

 
*Kimberly's comment*
Because Harry also possesses some of the Slytherin qualities.    Voldemort passed them on to Harry inadvertently when he tried to kill Harry.   Some of Voldemort's qualities, powers, were passed on to Harry.    Being a member of one house doesn't preclude you from having qualities of the other houses as well.    Because Voldemort passed Slytherin qualities on to Harry, he has  Slytherin as well as Gryffindor traits.
