This would not be the case, were it not for the fact that Harry has
foiled Voldemort repeatedly, and with broad public knowledge of this
fact. In PS/SS, it was not really necessary, and the primary goal of
obtaining the PS/SS superceded such a lesser consideration. In CoS,
it would have been Tom Riddle/Voldemort who killed him via his use of
the basillisk (sp?). TR/LV don't really directly play in PoA, but in
GoF Harry survives Voldemort's attempt on his life, and does so with
an audience of Death Eaters, thus making it more imperative that
Voldemort do the deed himself. By the time we get to the end of
OotP, Harry and friends have foiled Voldemort's attempt to steal the
prophecy, demonstrated (again before witnesses) that Voldemort cannot
possess him, and survived Voldemort's indirect attempt on his life
(via Voldemort's trying to get Dumbledore to do the deed for him as a
means of killing Voldemort during the possession, and this also
before said witnesses).

Given all this, it should not be surprising that now Voldemort is
determined to kill Harry personally. Harry is now too much of a
symbol of the fallability and defeatability of Voldemort himself for
Voldemort NOT to kill him, up close, personally and before as many
witnesses as can be mustered for the event.

I'm not sure how your argument makes mine invalid. I happen to agree 
with you that Voldemort wants to get rid of Harry himself--because he 
needs to save face. It's just that I also happen to think that he is 
going to have to take out whatever is inside of Harry first. Surely, 
if the last word in the series is "scar" there must be more to that 
scar than just it's shape? 

To me it makes sense if Harry is a horcrux because I think that in 
the end Harry will sacrifice himself for his friends and the WW. I 
don't think that Harry will kill anyone through violence--JMO.

It's interesting that Tom Riddle's diary had the ability to basically 
suck the life out of Ginny and regenerate itself into another Tom 
Riddle.

Dumbledore tells Harry in HBP that he is amazed that with everything 
that Harry has been through and with all his suffering that he still 
is "pure-of-heart!"  I think that Harry has a stronger will than 
Voldemort. Perhaps the protection Harry received from his mother has 
made him invulnerable to corruption.  

My feeling is that someone will remove the horcrux from Harry. Harry 
may even die or be brought back from the brink of death (Snape seems 
to be able to put a stopper in death anyway). 

What do you think will happen if the soul piece is put back into 
Voldemort?  My hunch is that it may kill him. If Voldemort cannot 
bear to go into Harry's mind (OOTP) because of the love that resides 
in there, can you imagine what a soul piece that's been living inside 
Harry for 17 years will do to him? Remember, Voldemort also has 
Lily's blood running inside his veins.

I know people think that Snape is a good person, sorry I just don't. 
It's possible that he may be redeemed in the end for some future act 
in book 7, but he has done nothing at present to suggest his loyalty 
to anyone but himself--again, JMO.
