That being said, I'm not going to buy the "Harry is NOT a descendant 
of Salazar Slytherin" rumor-buster at face value. 
...Harry very well would not be considered a descendant of Salazar 
Slytherin - because I never inferred or believed that James was. 
LILY, on the other hand, is a whole different can of worms.>>>

Huzzah! Another Lily McSlytherin theorist! I say she's the first 
witch in a long line of Squibs (don't try to distract me with genetic 
science, or you'll force me to use sophistry...) and that's why 
they're so proud that they have finally produced a witch.

However, the Potter books are kid books as opposed to children's 
books, meaning that there will be fart and booger/bogie jokes, and 
suspension of disbelief is *essential*. It's not about the magic. 
It's a ripping yarn about a boy and his school chums. JKR keeps 
trying to tell us this. What do you think she meant when she 
said "Look out for Squidward"?
