   I think it is interesting as well that Dumbledore allowed Harry to 
try to call the horcrux in the cave to him. If it had been a true 
horcrux, would it have recognized a part of itself in Harry? Harry also 
was not able to stick his hand into the potion, so again the defenses 
did not recognize him. There did seem to be some affinity between the 
diary and Harry. This is a very interesting line of inquiry. Are there 
any other instances in the books where Harry felt something about an 
item. JKR said that careful readers would be able to identify at least 
one of the hircruxes.
