Sherry now:
JKR answered this on her web site quite a while ago, I think.  She says
Harry is definitely not the heir of Gryffindor.  There are a number of
people who speculate that Dumbledore could have been, and that the house in
Godric's Hollow could have been his house.  I don't really think one way or
the other about it.  I hope we'll see Godric's Hollow for the sentimental
value of Harry revisiting it, but I don't really expect any major plot
revelations.

As for lily being adopted, if that were the case, than everything Dumbledore
said or thought about the blood magic, Harry being protected as long as he
can still call the home the place where his mother's blood lives, would be a
lie or foolish ignorance.  I already have serious problems with the whole
idea of Harry being left at the Dursleys, and if it turned out that it had
been unnecessary all along because Lily wasn't blood kin to Petunia, that
would make Dumbledore pretty monstrous, I think.  if he knew, of course.
