leave Harry for Lord Voldemort.

I agree that Voldemort wouldn't fully understand the connection
between himself and Harry, but he seemed to have made up his mind in
the graveyard scene in GoF that Harry's blood is the only thing
valuable or special about him, and wanted to kill him in front of all
his DE's to prove the point. I was under the impression that a horcrux
is something rather complicated to create, killing someone is an
essential step, and certainly injures/tears the soul, but doesn't
necessarily automatically create a horcrux (I doubt Pettigrew or
Crouch junior has/had any). Also, Voldemort was, as you say, taken by
surprise the night he first attacked Harry, and was left relatively
helpless (his only ability left was to possess other living beings).
How could he have constructed a horcrux in that state? (I'm also
rather curois about what happened to Voldemort's wand that night, how
did he get it back, I wonder...) Did he not flee after losing his
body? I think Voldemort has wanted Harry saved for himself because he
wants to destroy his only true threat (other than DD) and exact
revenge upon the person he would see as responsible for what he went
through that Hallowe'en night, not because he wants to study Harry any
further (even 16 year old Tom Riddle, back in CoS, concluded that
Harry was 'nothing special' just lucky, and decided to dispose of him
accordingly).
After all that, I have to admit it seems to fit that Harry would be
somehow connected to Voldemort in a way that would end up in his
eventual self-sacrifice. I'm just having a hard time seeing how Harry
can be a horcrux, specifically.
