AJM:
I somehow had a feeling, don't think it's ever been explained though, 
that the reason the sorting hat may have wanted to put Harry in 
Slytherin was the fact that he had part of Voldemort's soul in him.  The 
fact that the sorting hat could somehow sense this may have contributed 
to the fact that the sorting hat considered putting him in Slytherin.  
Don't know what others think about this.
