I agree with the others who have said that Harry's scar is not a 
Horcrux--and would go so far as to say that it seems impossible for 
Harry to be a Horcrux either.

Apologies if someone has already pointed this out but:  

Voldemort went to Godric's Hollow to kill Harry.  Prior to 
attempting to kill Harry, he would not make him a horcrux (i.e., 
from the death of James or Lily or anyone else for that matter) 
because it wouldn't make sense to make Harry a horcrux and then kill 
his own horcrux.  

As we all know, when he did try to kill Harry, the curse rebounded 
on Voldemort and he was immediately rendered body-less and nearly 
powerless--seems like it would have been difficult, if not 
impossible for Voldemort to try making Harry a horcrux at this 
point (not sure he would have wanted to either, considering what had 
just happened).  I believe that he also fled at this point.  

I don't think Harry's scar could be a horcrux for the reason set 
forth above.  In addition to that, even barring the above-mentioned 
reason, I don't know that a scar, which is really just a lingering 
mark where an injury happened, would qualify as an "object."

JMO of course.

"Namie", who is hoping that Harry defeats Voldemort and lives to 
tell his grandchildren about it.
