Ken says:

Surely the simplest answer and probably the most obvious is that
Harry IS Slytherin's heir! We have spent a lot of time and effort
trying to justify his ability to open the Chamber of Secrets on the
basis of his assimilation of some of Voldemort's powers. But the
Chamber is a seriously magical "thing". No one or nothing else has
confused Voldemort with Harry so why should the Chamber have done
so? No, it is more likely that Harry is indeed an heir - perhaps
THIS is why Voldemort identified the infant Harry as his nemesis
instead of Neville?

Lynda:

I haven't spent a lot of time and effort on that, and consider Harry being
Slytherin's heir far from likely.  Yes, I've seen the theory before, but
pretty much dismissed it.
