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.
