scar left as a visible reminder of what happened to his parents but 
what if it is more than that?

<snip> Originally LV was going to use something from the house as 
his final horcrux but this backfired somehow and Harry became the 
horcrux.  It is the only explanation as to how Harry shares talents 
of LV's, that could only happen if Harry had somehow absorbed some 
of LV's soul."


CH3ed:
Well, you are assuming that soul and power are the same or 
inseparable entity. I don't think there is a canon that definitely 
supports that.

the curse intended? " <snip>

CH3ed:
Precisely what DD and LV say in the book (DD told Harry some of LV's 
power transfered to Harry when LV tried to kill him in Book 1, LV 
told the DE's the AK rebounded on himself causing pain beyond pain 
and he was ripped from his body). A good canon to me. :O)

"O.K, does anyone else think it is in anyway interesting that Harry
already has a "big crack" so to speak? When I first read about the
ring and the crack down the middle of it, I thought of Harry's scar. 
I think it is at least a possibility that Harry was somehow 
accidentally made into a horcrux on the night that his parents died, 
but that because of his mother's love sacrifice, the horcrux was 
destroyed. We don't know enough about the art of horcrux making to 
say if this is in any way possible. It would answer some questions 
and leave Harry one step closer to his ultimate goal. Just a 
thought, and I wanted to hear what people thought about it."


CH3ed: 
Well, DD doesn't see it that way or he wouldn't have told Harry that 
there are 4 Horcruxes left to destroy. I think the scenario is 
unlikely because of the direction of the AK in the scene. The AK 
leaves LV's wand, hit Harry and bounced back to hit LV, destroying 
his body and ripped out his original soul. So if anything I'd expect 
LV's soul to be moving away from Harry instead of toward him and 
entering him (making Harry a Horcrux... or not. The original soul 
cannot be destroyed as long as the other Horcruxed soul pieces 
exist, isn't it? So if anything Harry would have been possessed). I 
can see the power it needed for LV's cast the AK entering Harry when 
the curse hit him, but not LV's soul.

Also does the canon say that when a Horcrux is created it leaves a 
visible mark on the Horcruxed object? I recall DD telling Harry that 
magic always leave marks when he was surveying the cave to find the 
entrance (the marks of the magic used in this case are not visible 
to the normal eyes..or Harry would have seen them), but I don't 
recall anything about mark of the Horcrux. 

CH3ed just got all of his HP books back. Yeh!!!! :O)
