Someone recently mentioned the "in essence divided" comment by DD.
Could a part of Voldemort, aside from certain talents, be inside 
Harry? Is it possible that when Voldemort attacked baby Harry that he 
lost whatever was left of his humanity? Could a part of Tom be
inside Harry? Didn't Harry once comment that the name Tom Riddle
seemed familiar, like an old friend he had as a child? Is it
possible that Lily's spell tore Voldemort's soul/essence literally
in half? Could Tom have been absorbed into Harry?

What an excellent post, Maus.  My feeling is that Harry survived his 
childhood because of Tom Riddle. It must have been incredibly lonely 
for Harry as a baby in the Dursley house.  What if Tom was his 
friend?  I agree with you that Tom was probably more dominant when 
Harry was a child, but as Harry grew, Tom became less assertive. A 
baby is easily manipulated; and Tom may have needed to be more 
aggressive to ensure the child's survival.  It's possible that Tom's 
original intentions for baby Harry were purely selfish.  He needed to 
keep Harry alive long enough till he could find a way to remove 
himself.  In a way, DD probably saved Harry's life by keeping him 
away from the WW world until he was 11.  Tom had no access to DEs, 
potions, etc.  Tom was forced to live his life through Harry for 11 
years.  Did Tom learned to love because of Harry?  And has Tom been 
helping Harry beat Voldemort, again and again? 

Is it possible that Tom will save Harry in the end?  What if the 
surge of power Mr. Dursley felt when he grabbed Harry at the window 
(the begining of OOTP) was really Tom protecting Harry?
