Harry is Not a Horcrux or Maybe he is...

I also have another strong objection to the theory that Harry is a
Horcrux. We saw what the Diary Horcrux did as soon as it came into
contact with a sentient being. It sucked on Ginny's life force and
tried its absolute best to get itself a real living body again. It
doesn't strike me that Harry has been fighting a piece of
Voldemort's soul all these years. And if Voldemort wanted Harry
dead, and let's face it he does, and the piece of his soul in Harry
knows that Harry is its enemy because it would only be there because
Voldemort was trying to kill Harry at the time, then wouldn't that
bit of soul have sucked the life out of defenceless baby Harry about
2 nanoseconds after he became a Horcrux – real Voldemort being
bodiless at the time and desperately in need of one. You get my
drift
:-)

Good point, Saraquel. But there are other clues that point to the
fact that Harry may contain the last Horcrux. In Chamber of Secrets
there are two separate instances where Harry says something curious.
The first time is when he sees the name Tom Riddle and gets deja vu.
He looks at Tom's name and seems to remember that Tom was a childhood
friend he had forgotten. The other time he looks at the diary and
wishes that he could finish the story that was started there. Both
comments are strange.

I wonder if Lily's spell somehow blasted a little bit of Voldemort
inside of Harry. Perhaps this little bit of Tom was stronger when
Harry was a baby, but in time fused into Harry's personality.
Dumbledore's decision to keep Harry away from the WW for the first 10
years of his life may have been a good idea. A wizard family might
have noticed something that the Dursely's did not. Petunia may have
just thought that Harry behavior was strange due to the fact that he
was probably a wizard.

Could this little piece of Tom now contain love because of Harry (and
Lily's magic)? What is the importance of Dumbledore's gleam? Does
Harry's blood carry a "love" virus?

Voldemort has always underestimated the power of love. So, what
would happen if the last horcrux were to merge back into Voldemort?

MA: Oh, here's one [from our forums] that I've really got to ask you.
Has Snape ever been loved by anyone?

JKR: Yes, he has, which in some ways makes him more culpable even
than Voldemort, who never has. Okay, one more each!
