Brothergib:
The Sorting Hat sings about it in OOTP. Something along the lines 
of 'were there ever such friends as Gryffindor & Slytherin'

Thankyou also to Carol for reminding me of JKR's comments about the 
heir of Gryffindor. You will forgive me for clutching at straws, but 
JKR did actually pause before answering that particular question. I 
think the reason I find it difficult to let go of that particular 
avenue of possibility is the fact that DD claimed that only a true 
Gryffindor could have pulled his sword from the sorting hat. The 
other fact is that the theory in question concerned Harry being heir 
of Gryffindor through his father's line - but not necessarily his 
mother's.
Yes, even as I write this, I can hear you thinking 'Why can't these 
poor deluded souls give up on their favourite theories when presented 
with overwhelming evidence against them'. Perhaps I should stand 
down!!!

Brothergib again:
Lily's eyes - Same colour as Gryffindor's; OK i'll stop now. At the 
right moment Snape suddenley sees Lily in Harry due to their shared 
green eyes?
Harry's scar - We've had the Scar-Horcrux theory before. Maybe LV 
tried to make Harry a Horcrux. Lily's protection ejected the 
potential spell, which left Harry's body and the scar is somehow the 
Horcrux - bit dodgy isn't it! Have just thought of something - will 
post elsewhere!
'Ancient Magic' - ???Love????
Before book 1 - Is the defeat of Grindlewald important? Does LV 
actually possess 6 Horcruxes - and therefore possess the magical '7' 
pieces of soul!
Snape - Horcrux destroyer. Lily lover.
Riddle - She probably started with the name Voldemort. Riddle simply 
was the best she could generate from the subsequent anagram.
