Just so.
But the worrying thing is - he'll have to retain that  bit of Voldy in his
mind to form the necessary link.
So we've got a risk/reward situation. Might well  end up as a race to see 
which happens first - Harry crunching Voldy or Voldy corrupting Harry.

Once again one of Kneasy's past musings may be worthy of consideration
- The Temptation. If Harry continues on the downward spiral that he 
demonstrated in OoP - stroppy, uncooperative, angry - and becomes
worse, then we have a scenario where Voldy could turn Harry into 
another Tom in the making. 
And makes him an offer that a Harry with that mind-set might not refuse.

That'd be fun.
Of course he'd eventually come to his senses and do the right thing; but
just think of the damage he could cause in the meantime! 
Fair warms the cockles  of an old FEATHERBOA's heart.
