The voices in Harry's head may very well turn out to be just his
inner thoughts. Then again, have you noticed how often JKR warns us
about hearing voices?:
"'No,' said Ron, without hesitation. 'Hearing voices no one else can
hear isn't a good sign, even in the wizarding world.'" - CoS
"Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia exchanged looks of utter horror. If
their least favourite thing in the world was magic closely followed
by neighbours who cheated more than they did on the hosepipe ban
people who heard voices were definitely in the bottom ten." - OotP
"'First sign of madness, talking to your own head,' said a sly voice
from the empty picture on the wall." - OotP
And interestingly the number of instances in which Harry hears a
voice inside his head seems to be increasing in OotP. Perhaps the
voices in Harry's head aren't as innocent as they appear to be.

Come to the KITTENS & RAINBOWS theory website for more evidence
supporting the presence of a part of Voldemort's mind inside Harry:
