Shadow Stalker said this in post #18 : and i know even less
from what i'd heard i thought harry was slytherin...but i guess not...*crawls back into LOTR cave*
I don't Harry is meant to be in Slytherin because remember what Dumbledore said somewhere near the end of the story?This is some part of what he said;"....only a true Griffindor can pull out this sword from the hat..."
one more thing James IS IN GRIFFINDOR CHODDER!!!!!!!
"THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE DIED! DIED RATHER THEN BETRAY YOUR FRIENDS,AS WE WOULD HAVE DONE FOR YOU!"
Because, Voldemort tried to kill Harry when he was 1 year old. That's the night that Voldemort killed Harry's parents. But, when he used the curse on Harry, it didn't work, and 'backfired' and he defeated himself. When that curse that was used on Harry didn't work, there were some of Voldemorts powers that were transferred into Harry. That is how he can speak parseltongue. Though out the books, you see Harry's scar hurt him from the presence of Voldemort. In the 5th book, we find that there is yet another connection between the two, from the curse and scar. Harry can feel the emotions of Voldemort.

The first HP was published in 96 or 97... and, JKR has been working on this story for years before that. She has the entire thing basically written... has since the beginning. It's just all the 'fine tuning' that's still needed.
