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

Oh Vivian, big smile on face, reading your post as I am at this very 
moment locked in brain aching combat with Harry's scar and 
Voldemort's powers!!

Saraquel:
I definitely think that there is something of Voldemort in Harry.  
In fact, DD thinks so as well, but as we know from HBP, DD does not 
think it is a Horcrux.

Uk Ed COS p245
"Unless I'm much mistaken, he transferred some of his own powers to 
you the night he gave you that scar.  Not something he intended to 
do, I'm sure 
"
"Voldemort put a bit of himself in me?" Harry said thunderstruck.
"It certainly seems so."

UK Ed HBP p473
"I am sure that he was intending to make his final Horcrux with your 
death. As we know, he failed."

IMO Dumbledore knows more than me about Voldemort's Horcruxes, and 
as far as I'm concerned, if DD says it failed, it failed. I really, 
really, really don't think Harry is one. However, he definitely has 
some of Voldemort's powers in him and therein lies the mystery of 
GH.  I was trying to find a quote from one of JKR's interviews where 
she says that Lily did not cast a spell at GH when she died, all she 
did was stand in front of Harry, but something about the way she did 
it was unique. Unfortunately I couldn't find it, maybe someone can 
point us in the right direction, I think it was one of the 
interviews after HBP. Hence, I don't think it was anything Lily did. 
It was something that happened when Voldemort did whatever he did 
and I think it is linked to the scar on Harry's forehead which I 
think marked Harry as his equal (I've got a potion brewing on that 
one and may post something in the next couple of days).

Saraquel:
There is something special from Lily's sacrifice now in Harry's body 
and I presume his blood also. DD says this to Harry at the end of PS 
p216
"Your mother died to save you.  If there is one thing Voldemort 
cannot understand, it is love.  He didn't realise love as powerful 
as your mother's for you leaves its own mark. Not a scar, no visible 
sign 
 to have been loved so deeply, even though the person who 
loved us is gone, will give us some protection for ever.  It is in 
your very skin."  

There has been a lot of speculation about this on the list lately if 
you haven't read it, it starts with  post 136797 No Aks – Just the 
Ministry Room of Love, then jumps to 137115 – you should be able to 
follow it from there.
