 JKR has shot down that theory. Read the text of her 
Leaky Cauldron/Mugglenet interview below where she states that Harry 
is not the Heir of Gryffindor

I quite agree with you.  I highly doubt that Harry is the Heir to 
Gryffindor.  Personally, I think it's Neville.  But my argument is 
that Voldemort THOUGHT he was the Heir to Gryffindor.  And for good 
reason too, considering the following info:

1. James and Lily retreated to Godric's Hollow.  GODRIC'S HOLLOW. 

2. James' family has a long pure blood line.

3. James' family was very wealthy, and the person who invented the 
Snitch was known to live in Godric's Hollow.  This would explain how 
his family acquired his health, and his infatuation with snitches 
(Snapes' Worst Memory, OoP).  If this inventor lived there, perhaps 
he had an estate there which has been passed down from person to 
person in the family.  And perhaps this estate is where James and 
Lily took refuge at.
