Are TWO People Carrying the Soul of TR?

I've just been rereading CoS with my daughters (makes me feel much less geekly that way 
^.^) and have heard something that bears on a discussion that has been ongoing here.

We've been considering the What-if-Tom-Riddle's-Soul-Was-Placed-in-Harry-at-
Godric's-Hollow-leaving-LV-soulless (aka S.O.T.H.I.C.K--Soul of Tom, Harry Is Carrying--
Krikey!) theory--Kneasy's, I think. It's a wonderfully provocative theory, and as I was 
reading the "Heir of Slytherin" chapter were Harry finally confronts Tom over Ginny's dying 
body, something struck me for the first time. In describing how he possessed Ginny, TR 
says, "If I say it myself, Harry, I've always been able to charm the people I needed. So Ginny 
poured out her soul to me, and her soul happened to be exactly what I wanted .... I grew 
stronger and stronger on a diet of her deepest fears, her darkest secrets. I grew powerful, 
far more powerful than little Miss Weasley. Powerful enough to start feeding Miss Weasley 
a few of my secrets, *to start pouring a little of my soul back into her. . .*"  CoS, p. 309, US 
ed. (Emphasis mine.)

Now, in light of the Soul-of-Tom theory, what if we now have TWO vessels carrying the 
human part of the LV construct? Not to spill into a SHIP conversation, but what if it is some 
sort of connection--magical or otherwise--between Harry and Ginny that heals this soul 
and allows it ("the other" of the prophecy) to destroy LV?

Just a thought. I haven't really considered all of the ramifications....
