Hello. First time poster here, so don't mind me if I'm 
unintentionally breaking about 15 rules by not keeping the old 
message in this post. I find it too distracting from the new message.

Well, I have something to say about Harry being a Horcrux. He's not. 
He can't be-and it's not just because I've decided that Harry Potter 
MUST live-no. It's because you need a spell to encase a soul, and 
there was no time to encase a bit of soul into Harry or his scar, or 
his teddy bear, or whatever. 
As said in HBP, not sure what page as I don't have the book right 
here, but it's in the chapter "Horcruxes". Professor Slughorn is 
talking to 16 or 17 year old Tom Riddle.
"Encase. But how-"
"There is a spell. I don't know. Don't ask me!" As you can see, even 
though Slughorn doesn't know which spell to use, he does know that 
there is a spell involved. 

Secondly, Dumbledore speaks the truth in these books. It has been 
said that Dumbledore is almost like JK Rowling herself, telling the 
reader the truth and what is real. This may not be true in EVERY 
aspect, (aka-Snape...I have my own theories on that...) I believe it 
applies to this: "Anybody who wishes to kill Lord Voldemort must 
destroy the part of his sould that is in his body last." Obviously 
paraphrasing like mad, but still...you get my drift. Harry can't just 
kill himself before he kills Voldemort because it would take him one 
step further. Harry is the only one who can kill Voldemort, and 
unless one of you would like to start a mad theory that Harry makes a 
few Horcruxes himself...the "Harry-the-Horcrux" theory kinda falls 
apart at the details.

I hope I'm doing this posting thing correctly. Someone tell me if I'm doing it wrong.
Thank you.
Someone please reply.
