Alla:

I don't think that her not commenting on "Harry is not a horcrux" 
means anything one way or another, you know.

Why? Because if it is true, it is going to be a major plot point and 
even though I am a VERY firm believer that JKR does not lie to us in 
her interviews, I realise that it makes no sense for her to debunk  
major theory whether it is true or not. IMO anyways.

Besides, she just started her " book 7 game" with us, fans, so IMO she 
has plenty of time to debunk some theories and she has to keep us on 
her toes , so if it is NOT true, she may do it at any time in the 
future before book 7 comes out. Oh, she may just leave us guessing 
with this one and I have a feeling she may do so.

Now, she DID say that she may go ahead and debunk the theory which 
makes no sense at all - as an example she gave Vampire!Snape, if I 
remember correctly, so I guess if Harry!horcrux does not lead us 
to "anything interesting", I would think that that she may say it is 
not true someday in the future or not.

But even if it has some sort of truth in it, it still does not mean 
that it is correct ( adn I do think it has some truth in it) - like 
for example Harry may not be a horcrux, but some other living being  ( 
besides Nagini) could be or something like that and she does not want 
us to stop speculating about it.

JMO of course,
