Doddiemoe here:

Voldemort may have been at that time the last ancestor of Salazar 
Slytherin...however, we as readers do not know how much and what 
parts Voldemort transfered to Harry(only DD's supositions) upon the 
Avada Kedavara curse used when he was a little more than one year 
old. (Keep in mind that only the "heir of Slytherin" could open the 
chamber of secrets according to EVERYONE...YET Harry did, in fact, 
open the chamber of secrets!!!!!!  I for one, do not think that 
Salazar was fool enough to leave the opening of the COS to a 
parseltongue alone...there must be something more there..

If Voldemort truly marked Harry as his equal, then Harry too is an 
heir of Slytherin.  In essence...they are twins...yet 
not...identical/fraternal...doesn't matter...twins are always twins 
they have a certain "stigma"...JK gives us an example of Fred and 
George in the books.  They can even confuse their own mother and 
they appear to be identical...just as Harry may have confused the 
entrances to the COS..

I suppose the crux will be the character mentioned in the books that 
we have heard the least about...the Tom Riddle Sr...and maybe even 
his family.(ewwww what if Tom Riddle Sr. was the half-blood 
prince?!?)

If only the "heir of Slytherin" could open the chamber of 
secrets...then both Harry and Voldemort(at least Tom Riddle) are 
both Heirs....one way or another...)

(who is glad that someone making better 'choices' opened the COS)
