Bart:
I was about to say how ridiculous the concept of Harry as a Horcrux is,
but came up with one way it COULD work. This is based on a leap beyond
the canon: that the pieces of the soul in the horcruxes are not homogenous.
You see, the major problem with Harry being a Horcrux is that, based on
our knowledge of Tommy Riddle's diary, there is no way that Voldemort's
piece of soul would not show itself. The only way that it could have is
if the piece of soul inside Harry contains all of Voldemort's goodness.
This would actually fit in well with the story, as well as explain while
Voldemort is unredeemable.
