Does Krait become Horn's son by acting like it? Purely a ruse? A little of both?

Who would waste their time arguing against such a reasonable guess? After all, Horn
seems to facilitate dream travel and Neighbors are associated with dream travel. Is
there anything about either Horn or Silk which would bestow this ability? Is there 
anything in the text which shows there is not a Neighbor component to SilkHorn? 
(I use the word "component", though I think James would prefer another, for religious
reasons)
 
Heck, if you argue against that idea, you might as well go all the way and argue that
there is no component of Silk in Horn. That is actually stated in the text many times.
