ok..i dont know where you all get this stuff about James Potter being in slytherin..but he wasnt..he was NOT in slytherin. james was killed b/c he was tryin to keep Voldemort from killing harry...just as harry's mother was killed tryin to do the same, Voldemort tried to kill harry b/c he thought he was doing what the prophecy said. AND how can James potter be the heir of slytherin when in book#2(Chamber of Secrets) tom riddle(Voldemort) said he was the last remaining ancestor of Salzar Slytherin. Point proven..hes not got anything to do with Slytherin
