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.
