Reading this thread, I'm reminded of the prophecy orb which broke prior to 
Neville's dropping Harry's orb in OoP.  I'm recalling from memory, but I 
believe what's written is fragmented and says something like "at the 
Solstice will come a new...." and "none will come after." If that's applied 
to the concept of  Voldemort's rise or birth, part of it could mean he's the 
last heir of Slytherin, perhaps? The first part might refer to his birth? 
Maybe?  Maybe not?
