Believe it or not, Richard. I do see support in canon for such an
internal war. 

First there's the reason Dumbledore chose to put Harry into the
protection of his mothers blood, with the Dursleys, in spite of
several thousand other kinds of protection Dumbeldore could have used
instead to hide him from angry DE's and Vapour!Mort. There are quite a
few readers that feel this was never satisfactorily explained in light
of the awful treatment Harry endured from his Aunt and Uncle. The
debate on wether Dumbledore should have chosen to *leave* Harry in
this awful place for a decade could come to a grinding halt if we were
to find out that Tom could have possessed baby Harry without the
protection. It solves one of the mysterious contradictions in canon to
think that there is a piece of Toms Soul in Harry.

Second there is Petunia, who knows about Voldemort, was told something
in a letter by Dumbledore and, I noticed at the end of PS/SS looked
downright terrified hen she saw Harry back from his first year of
Hogwarts. These things mke hrdly any sense, but if Petunia has been
told "the terrible truth" and the terrible truth is that Tom's soul is
in Harry and could possess him at any moment, but for the protection
of Lily's love that Dumbledore invoked after GH.

Third there is Moody's comment in OotP that Voldemort could be
possessing Harry. The question of this seems to be closed by the
revelation that Harry and Voldemort are only connected by the scar,
and Voldemort was only putting idea in Harry's head through this
connection. However there is still canon support in that statement for
the notion that Moody knew of a reason why Voldemort might possess
Harry.   

Finally, for now, there is the two snakes from Dumbledores silver
instruments. Which are not easily explained by the connection between
them in the scar. There must be a reason why this still has a question
mark over it. And one answer is that there is a piece of Toms soul in
Harry, that is indeed still blocked by Lily's protection from
possessing him.

I am not saying absolutely that Harry is a horcrux, but the arguments
for and against have all lacked this canon in them. I couldn't sit by
the fire without chucking in a few logs to keep it burning. ;D
