If Harry is NOT a Horcrux...

Dumbledore, the most powerful wizard that ever lived, tells Harry that 
the reason he is drinking the potion instead of Harry is that Harry is 
MUCH more valuable.  

Yes, Voldemort transfered powers to Harry.  So far they have shown up 
in experiencing Voldemort's thoughts & feelings; speaking 
parseltongue; the ability to fight the Imperious Curse--I might be 
missing a few other things but there doesn't seem to be anything HUGE 
that makes Harry so valuable in defeating Voldemort. The protection 
that saved his life by Lily's sacrifice will be gone when Harry turns 
17. I don't think having the brother to Voldemort's wand will mean 
anything in the future, since we are learning so much more about non-
verbal spells. 

And then there's love.  Well, hey, is there anyone more capable of 
defeating a Dark Wizard with love than Dumbledore?  I'd venture he has 
the capacity for even MORE love inside him than Harry! The prophecy is 
self-fulfilling, DD answered that question...they could both just walk 
away if they wanted so there is no penalty involved like the 
Unbreakable Vow. 

So what IS it that is so unique and VALUABLE about Harry? I just hate 
to think that at the end of book 7, the OOTP, Ron, Hermione and Ginny 
are all pointing their wands at Harry and Voldemort's final 
confrontation, all with tears in their eyes as they have to destroy 
Harry the Horcrux and then Voldemort.
