Well maybe. Dumbldore said only a gryffindor could pull that sword outta the hat. And only Harry was the one who was able to do it. Well, Ron can't do it. Fred can't do it. Even Hermione can't do it.
Did any of them ever try?
In addition to Rowling clearly debunking this theory (and she's never outright lied yet and has no reason to start over something so minor to the plot) it just seems so very cliched. Wasn't a big part of the last book, and some of the appeal of the series, that Harry has no special power or connection beyond what Voldemort has assigned him?
(And I thought the fight between Slytherin and Gryffindor
was finished... Slytherin conceded and left the school.)
Anyway... There's no real evidence for it, but I've always thought that if anyone in the series was going to be decended from Godric Gryffindor it'd be the Weasley's.
