If Harry is NOT a Horcrux...

No: HPFGUIDX 136381

A lot of my original post has been snipped where I compare 
Dumbledore to Harry after reading Dumbledore's statement that Harry 
is more valuable than he so therefore, DD will drink the potion.  In 
all areas, with the exception of speaking parseltongue, Dumbledore 
lives up to his reputation as being the greatest wizard that ever 
lived--including a huge capacity to love. DD has more than enough 
love if that's what it takes to defeat Voldemort. 

To me, everything we have seen, including Lily's protection, does 
not give Harry the advantage which would "mark him as his equal" to 
Voldemort. So what is it?  Lily's protection saved Harry's life as a 
baby, and DD used an ancient spell to use Petunia to protect Harry 
until he is of age.  I don't see any indication that the initial 
protection is still in force, making Harry somehow invincible to 
Voldemort.  Actually, most of the evidence points to the contrary--
Harry is quite vulnerable to Voldemort, wand or no wand.

Cindy:  

No disagreement there, but most of his magical talent hasn't 
manifested itself in a dramatic enough way to be more valuable than 
Dumbledore.

Now Cindy again:

Even if this is true, and it certainly may well be it sounds 
plausable enough (I would imagine that the owner/creator of a 
Horcrux would not have to destroy the "object" in which the Horcurx 
resides to retrieve back that part of their soul if they so desired 
or in this case, may have happened unwittingly) but it still leaves 
us with just what is it that Harry is, possesses or has the ability 
to do to make him more valuable than Dumbledore in defeating 
Voldemort?
