So, are there 5, 6, or 7 horcruxes?

> His reasoning being that Vlodemort had been preparing to create a 
horcux as he killed Harry, and whilst Harry was not killed the AK 
spell did infact 'kill' Voldemort and so the seventh of Voldemort's 
soul might have become lodged inside Harry instead of inside 
whatever object he intended to turn into the horcrux. 


Jason:
Was Voldemort killed though? That piece of his soul survived the 14 
years as vapor. Only his body was destroyed.   

>.I hope that my husband is wrong, because if Harry is a horcrux 
then he'll have to die before Voldemort can be destroyed.

Jason again: Should Harry have to be destroyed even if he were a 
horcrux? The ring survived intact, afterall. :-)
