I think Harry is a decendant of Gryffindor. However if he is that means that James is also. Lily can't be because she is muggle born. But it is a good possibility that James the pure blood's family came from Gryffindor.
It makes since that Harry would be the last Gryffindor. Voldemort had one pureblood parent like Harry and one muggle born parent just like Harry.

I think Dumbledore is the decendent of Gryffindor... maybe...

MOD EDIT: please be careful one liners are not allowed ont eh forums..please elaborate more in future posts

Dumbledore because he still has. in his office Godric Gryffindor's sword. We know that the Sword is not a Horcrux because DD would have destroyed it when he found out. I believe that that sword was handed down the Gryffindor family line so therefore DD is(or was until he died-or did he?)the heir of Gryffindor and he kept the sword as a reminder of his ancestor.

Well... I'm really not sure that Godric has an heir at all.

But if I must choose... then Dumbledore.
Why not the others? Well...

Lily - Well, the idea irks me. A Muggle-born witch suddenly revealed to truly have wizard blood because Muggle is just "too unrealistic for her greatness"... cheesefest.
Snape - Nah. He's a shining example of a typical Slytherin.
Harry - Meh. I seriously think JKR nixed this one.
Voldemort - Interesting. I doubt it though.
Wormtail - No. Just...no.
James - I was going to pick him until I remembered that if Harry's not the heir, then James isn't either...
Sirius - Well, he is the only Gryffindor in a family of Slytherins. But still, he's in a family of Slytherins, so I don't know about that.
Lupin - You know, I don't know. I really can't see any reason why he shouldn't be, except for that whole werewolf bit, but he was made a wolf, not born. Hmm. I don't really know enough about his family to judge.

I had fun with that. Just some things to think about.

The decendent just has to be DD, he just fits all the qualities of Griffindor perfectly. As beyond_the_veil said, he has the sword of Godric Griffindor and that means that there is a fair chance that DD is the decendant. Of course DD dose also fit alot of the Ravenclaw qualities as well, so I don't know

I think it is very possible that Harry is the heir of Gryffindor. Know why? Because LV is the heir of Slytherin. Therefore, Harry being the heir of Gryffindor would just further solidify his mark as LV's equal. I mean, Slytherin and Gryffindor are both powerful houses, they both compete with each other all the time... it would make sense if Harry was Gryffindor's heir. I hope he is.

Know what else? If he is the heir of Gryffindor, and LV knows this, it would help out all those people who believe he is a horcrux... Because he is the last remaining artifact of Godric Gryffindor.

(although I still don't think he is a horcrux)

Very good point, I didn't think about that when I voted. Having Griffiodor v.s. Slytherin (Harry v.s. LV) would be a fantastic thing to have in the series. Didn't LV gradfather say they were Slytherins decends in HBP, because that would confirm that LV is the Slitherin heir?

yeah it's confirmed. He is the heir of slytherin

I'm not really sure that I belive that Godric has an heir.
If he does I would probably say that it's Dumbledore. It makes the most sense to me at least.

I think it is Dumbledore. He is very brave because he is not afraid of evil wizards and death. He is a highly educated wizard and very powerful, but he does not take the power and use it for himself. For him the school comes first, a lot like Gryffindor. If Godric was alive I think they would have a lot of similarities. He has the Godrics sword. It has to be his why else would Fawkes take that sword to Harry. He could have found some other weapon.

I think that it may possibly be Harry,



Given that LV is the heir to Salazar, is also a 'half-blood', can speak parcel tongue etc and LV marked him as his equal - this may be deeper, in that, it would be too perfect if the final face off was one between a gryffindor and slytherin ancestor - especially considering the long emnity between the two houses and the emphasis upon the adverse effects of such seperation between the houses. It also seems that such a 'stand-off' will occur with both of them alone (LV has always been alone, and Harry is having to learn to be self-sufficient)


His fathers' side of the family is pure blood (increasing the probability that Godrics' blood is in there somewhere), and James was in Gryffindor like his son

The hiding place for Harrys' family was Godric's Hollow, it has been speculated that it may have been the home of James Potter's family, and/or the home of long-dead Hogwarts founder Godric Gryffindor - but it does seem bizarre that their hiding place contains the name 'Godric'
(from Wikipedia)

Also, Gryffindor's sword came to Harry in CoS

Moreover, In OotP Dumbledores' office with the griffin door knocker wouldn't admit Umbridge, it seems not to allow people without prior permission - but (I honestly can't remember the which book, sorry) but once Harry was trying to guess the password into his office and his guessed purely by chance (I think it was either Cockroach Clusters or Blood-Flavored Lollied - because I remember Harry saying 'Really?'), surely if DD or whatever else it was that stopped Umbridge from enetering didn't want Harry to enter he would not have been able to

Ok that thats a bit of a week point

However, then again it was DD who suggested that hiding place (I think but I may be wrong), DDs sword and DDs griffin door knocker

oh darn, now I think its Dumbledore

i think the decentdant of Godric Gryffindor is Albus Dumbledore because he is so brave and smart and nice and everything that Godric was. but then i think Harry Potter Could it it so it is either Albus Dumbledore or Harry Potter.

I think that Harry is possibly a descendent of Godric Gryffindor as well as his dad because he kind of has to be if Harry is.

i think that James and Harry are the Godric's decendants. i think since James was a pureblood he was related somewhere down the line and that would make Harry Godric's heir. i think a big clue was givin to us in CoS when Harry pulled out Godric's sword from the sorting hat "only a TRUE Gryffindor could have pulled that out of that hat"

It seems logical that Dumbledore is the decendant but we hardly know anything about him. What house was he in? Who were his parents? did he even go to Hogwarts? But i still voted Dumbledore anyway it just seems...right. Its like the battle between Salazar Slytherin and Godric Gryffindor has passed down to Dumbledore and Voldemort, which would explain why Voldemort feared Dumbledore becasue Salazar left hogwarts while Godric remained victorious!

Harry is... in the chamber of secrets he pulled out godrics sword.. and dumbledore showed him that he wasn't the heir of slytherin but from godric

If i had to pick one person i would say Harry.I think when Harry pulled out the sword in CoS it may have been a hint that he was a decendent of Godric.

I would say James and Harry because james was a pure blood and harry also got godrics sword that alonly a true grifandor could have got...i choose harry though because James is dead....

I think that dumbledore might be Godric's descendant as he has all the qualities of a true Gryffindor and he doesn't act like all the other teachers do when it comes to house points and all that.He is very mature about it and I think he is very brave to have doe all that he has done for harry and the wizarding world

I think it may be possible that Harry is the descendant of Gryffindor, no matter if James or Lily got the blood in them (yeah, I think Lily may be it, although her ancestors were muggles (we don't know how many generations!), maybe they were squibs...).
But it's more likely that Albus and Aberforth Dumbledore are the heirs of Gryffindor. We know at least about Dumbledore that he's VERY powerful and maybe that is because of a powerful ancestor (see Voldemort). Maybe we get to know new things about Aberforth in book seven, I hope so...

I chose Harry

In COS Harry was able to pull Godric Griffindors sword thing out of the hat

Dumbledore said only a true Griffindor would have been able to do that

Was Dumbledore talking about the house Griffindor

Or could this have been a subtle clue by JK to tell us he was the descendant of Godric Griffindor

I believe that Dumbledore is Gryffindor's heir. I mean why else would he have the sword in his office? He does not have any of the other founders' relics in there? At least I do not remember reading that he does. Another reason that I think that the heir is Dumbldore instead of harry is because we cannot expect for Harry to be EVERYTHING of importance in these novels! That would be predictable!

I think that the descendnt of Godric Gryffindor wasnt introduced in the books, and never will be, I suppose it could be Dumbledore though.............since he/voldie both hae extordinary pwers and the exact qalities of the houses they were in and it turned out thr volie was the heir of slytherin so..

I think Harry Potter is the Gryffindor's heir (and Godric's Decendant) because he could be in slythering but the sorting hat place him in gry.He also could be it because when he was in the Chamber of secrets he got the Godric's sword to fight against the basilisk.

From all the options, I believe Dumbledore is the best candidate xD, Lily is also a good one, but remember that she comes from a muggle family, and although there's something we don't know about it (however, Jo said that there was more to Aunt Petunia than meets the eye 6_6), she can't be Godric's decendant. Harry would be too obvious XD, and Sirius I don't think so because he is the only one in his family (I guess) to be sorted into Gryffindor. Besides, as Voldemort is Salazar's decendant, Dumbleore could be Godric's, it would fit

xD

i said harry....but that would also mean that james would also be a descendant of gryffindors.....i think its very plausible since they live in godrics hollow..

I think Dumbledore is a descendant of Godric Gryffindor because he has in his possession the sword of Gryffindor, and is "confident" that it is the only known relic of Gryffindor. I just think that this shows something along the lines of hinting he's a descendant.

i wish their was a way to put James and Harry because I believe Godric Gryffindors line runs through the Potter line and therefore passed through James and now Harry. If not the Potters I believe Dumbledore and his brother Aberforth are descendants of Gryffindor but thats just an assumption based on Dumbledores skills.

the main reason I believe Harry is of descent of Gryffindor is something Dumbledore told him

"Only a True Gryffindor could have pulled the sword out of the hat." Thats not the exact quote but it was among those lines and I didnt feel like running up to my room and getting CoS and finding the right page to make it right.

This is quite vague and may be interpretted in a number of ways and interpretted how I thought he meant it but I could be quite wrong.

If it is Harry then James was before him. I don't think that Lily could be because she was muggle born, although, Petunia said that their parents were more happy than shocked or surprised, which also suggests that there could have been before maybe?

If Harry's parents were living in Godric's Hollow, then maybe it was a house given to him by his parents and so on. It could be an indication to how Gryffindor is related to James and Harry.

I think it is Lily, or maybe James, but then that would lead to Harry being the decendant after them. I think that James was the heir of Gryffindor (even though I put Lily) 'cause he is purblood. But Lily is muggle-born, so there has to be some magic in her family for her to be magical, maybe it was the decandent of Gryffindor, but then that person married a muggle, their kid was a muggle who married a muggle, and so on and so forth then theirs Lily and all of a sudden she's magical. But I think that Harry is both Godric and Salazar's heir, since Voldemort transfered some of his powers to Harry, and everything like that, so Harry could be the heir of both. 'Cause if Harry's not the heir of Slytherin, then the family blood line will end, since Voldemort will never have any kids *laughs at the thought*

Well I voted Lily... But if so, Harry is also a descendent of Godric, isn't he?
Or perhaps Lily is not Harry's mother ?
Perhaps I interpolate too much.

Well, it's Harry or Dumbledore. But if Harry is, then James has to be as well. Lily is Muggleborn, so that's impossible, I think.

i think it's dumbledore bexcause he's like the only one who we haven't really learned his history...we know everyone else's stories except dumbledore, i mean he had to come from somewhere, so you know, why not? He is the most likely

Dumbledore; noble, strong and a true hero

I had to think a lot before choosing someone, and now I think I have choose the right person. I think that Harry is Godric's descendant! (despite that he can speak in the snake language and all those Slytherin threads that he has).
Why I choose Harry? Because of his personality mostly: brave, devoted to his friends, a true Griffindor! And because he could use Godric's Sword and he even defeated the Basilisc with it! He has the power to use that sword, and he showed that to all of us! I really do think that he might be Godric's descendant!

I think its James, which means Harry is of Godric's Descendent. Lily is muggle born and James a pure blood so it makes sense. The slytherin abilities of Harry is only because when Voldemort tried to kill him, a bit of his soul got entrapped in Harry, not cos Harry has it from birth.

ya agree and yea salazar and godric are somewhat related because than only from both their genes come the perevell brothers from whom cadmus is Voldermort's great great grand dad or something and ignotus is harry s as harry is the heir of gryffindor he is the descendant i cant vote for james as when he died harry became the descendant now i suppose Albus Severus James and lily are descendants too

I personally think it is Sirius. He is Harry's godfather, and that's my guess as to why red and gold sparks fly out of his wand. I don't think Harry is related to Gryffindor because **BOOK 7 SPOILER** But then again, isn't there a Potter on Sirius' family tree? And the Malfoys and Bellatrix Lestrange are related to Sirius. Aah, I do not know...perhaps he did not marry and had no living relatives. Who knows? J.K. Rowling does.

I think there is a good chance that Dumbledore is the descendent of Godric Gryffindor. The reason being because of the sword in his office. How did he get it? Plus there is a lot that we don't know about Dumbledore. I don't think it was Sirius because his whole family were slytherins. I don't think it was Lily because she was muggle born and I think somwehere down the line too they said that james family had some half bloods in there so that would take Harry out as well. Hmm it's gotta be DD, if there is one...
