Is it canon that Harry would have been sorted into Slytherin?  I remember it that he said he didn't want to go to Slytherin before the hat said he was being sorted there.  As well, Hermione said that the hat considered her for Ravenclaw before putting her into Gryffindor.  DD told Harry he was a true heir to Gryffindor because he could pull the sword from the hat.  Would the sorting hat put a true heir to Gryffindor into Slytherin?
