I think that Tom is able to control the basilisk suggests he is in fact 
the heir.  That old English nursery rhyme...The Slytherin controls the 
serpent heigh ho the derry oh, the Slytherin is the snake.

Tom of course was thrilled to have Harry in the Chamber where the 
chances of killing him with the basilisk are optimal.

If Harry was the heir he would or could have just said "stop!"  Still 
he's a fairly clever boy and that would have occured to him given that 
he has chatted with snakes in the past.  It was better/more clear in the 
movie where Tom said "The basilisk will not listen to you."  One must 
think JKR didn't object to that as she reportedly worked with them very 
closely on the movie.

*         My grasp for straws was that maybe Harry could have said stop but
having been told he couldn't didn't try. Maybe Riddle knew that or maybe he
didn't - we know he has underestimated Harry before. Are we to assume that
Riddle overheard that Harry could speak parsel tongue or did someone tell
him? How did he know?
