Finwitch:

Yes, it certainly is possible that Harry IS - or WAS - a horcrux. 
While Voldemort didn't succeed in killing him, I'd say that Voldemort 
has definately killed enough to make several. Actually -- that may be 
why Voldemort was so insistent on having *Harry's* blood - why Harry 
has some of Voldemort's powers...

You see -- that was Harry's childhood 'friend', Tom Riddle. (that 
deja vu)... an invisible friend, too. Of course, Dursleys being 
Dursleys, Harry suppressed that early on, believing it was 
just 'imagining'. You know how Harry dismisses/suppresses this or 
that piece of information by telling himself he was 'imagining' it? 
He even tells Sirius 'I just imagined my scar hurt' but Sirius 
doesn't buy it... because Harry does NOT imagine things.

So yes, I'd say that, a piece of Voldemort's soul was within Harry, 
and it communicated with Harry's soul... However, when Voldemort 
seemingly 'attempted to possess' Harry, maybe he that piece of his 
soul joined the rest of him?

That rather than that Occlumency/Legilimency-business, Harry could 
see Voldemort's plans in his dreams because of that piece of soul. As 
he no longer has it, he can't.

What I want to know, is whether there's seven Horcruxes, as Harry 
figured, or six as Dumbledore told him?
