OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG......i had a brain wave whilst watching the second film earlier (it is a scene which occurs in the book!!) You know just after the scene where harry talks to the snake at the dueling club, where harry, ron and hermione are talkin about him being a parselmouth? well.....hermione sais, that harry could be slytherins "great great great grandson or something" and then "for all we know, you could be" and at that point you think....woah, she may be right, it seems fairly important doesn't it!! SO......y has JK not mentioned it since? It just kinda got forgotten about.....but it seems like the sort of topic that would have had more discussion! so maybe thats what JK was talking about.....it has to be of some significance!
Hermione says that in the book. Yeah, I think that could be a point. And if you think about the prophecy, there must be a hint why HARRY has the power to destroy Voldemort. I mean, there must be something special with Harry that the prophecy is about him. I don't think Harry's the heir of Slytherin. If he was, then he would have been able to control the Basilisk. But as far as we know he could be the heir of Gryffindor or the heir of all FOUR houses.
Oh another point:
What do you think about Mundungus Fletcher being a spy?! He's already mentioned in the 2nd, he wanted to curse Arthur Weasley when he turned his back to Mundungus. And was it really coincidence that he skipped his duty in Privet Drive?!
I mean, in the original Order was a spy, Wormtail, and I think it would make the story more exciting if there was a spy in the current Order. And I can't think of another reason of mentioning Mundungus that early if he isn't important.
PS: Please excuse my mistakes...English is not my best subject at school....
i hope u get this... my ehglish is not the best either...
about harry and voldemort.. or tom riddle... we know ( i dont remember were is it) that voldemort was going directly to kill harry, and that he only killed his parents because they where in the middle... so, if tom or voldemort (what ever) is the last and true heir of slytherin, and there are ideas that harry is too (or something like that) wouldnt be that one of the reasons why he wanted to kill him??
maybe im wrong... sorry but i havent read the 5th book yet... 😮
