If Harry is a Horcrux, why is Voldemort so intent on having him dead?
He wanted Quirrell to kill Harry to acquire the Philosopher's Stone.
Diary!Riddle wanted Harry dead. GoF's graveyard scene speaks for
itself. LV possessing Harry in the Atrium at the MoM so that
Dumbledore would kill Harry in an attempt to kill LV, is also, LV
wanting Harry dead. Dumbledore realized then that it wasn't his
own destruction LV was after, but Harry's.

LV wouldn't want Harry dead if he is a Horcrux...that would be
destroying himself and making himself that much more vulnerable, IMO,
not stronger. If, in killing Harry, LV recovered the piece of his
soul that was inside a Horcrux!Harry, he would still be "a mortal man
with a maimed and diminished soul." LV knows that if he recovers
those pieces of soul (if they can be recovered) he will no longer
be 'immortal'...he doesn't want that, he's too
afraid of death.

Because Voldemort does not know that Harry is a horcrux. Something
happened during GH that caused a "bit" of Voldemort to enter Harry--
we know this. (If you can believe that talents are transferable, then 
you must agree that a soul piece is also transferable, since it's 
part of canon, no?)

So, either Lily's sacrifice caused this to happen, or someone else 
was at GH and caused it--maybe even accidentally.

Let's say someone came with Voldemort. Lily's sacrifice turns
Voldemort into Vapormort. This other person performs a ritual to
absorb Voldemort's power but it backfires and goes into Harry.
The house explodes.

This person cannot kill Harry without also giving up what he wants. 
Maybe Snape doesn't yet know how to remove it? (I posted this theory 
on another site and a fan mentioned that perhaps Harry was right 
about the occlumeny lessons--that Snape was trying to make him 
weaker. Maybe Snape was trying to figure a way to get to Harry's 
powers.) 
 
See where I'm going?

Anyway, Voldemort may now actually suspect what Harry is, hence his 
order to the DEs to not kill Harry. Notice how the target in this 
book was Dumbledore and not Harry? Is it too hard to believe that 
Snape told Voldemort, over the summer, that he was treating 
Dumbledore for a curse related injury from a ring that had a snake on 
it? A ring that Dumbledore didn't hide but left sitting in plain view 
in his office.
