Antosha:

I'm ambivalent about the Harry-as-Horcrux theories. It seems likely to
me that Harry's vanquishing of Voldy will in fact center around an act
of self-sacrifice on his part, but the Horcrux theory... :shrugs:

Your idea has some interesting aspects, but I see one problem. It
would presuppose that LV's goodness was set aside as the nasty parts
were shunted off into one Horcrux after another. Setting aside the
whole question of whether each Horcrux contains an identical AMOUNT of
LV's soul (rather than a half of a half of a...), we're still left
wondering why, as the good portion of him became a larger and larger
percentage of his remaining soul, he kept getting nastier and nastier?
If Harry's the last Horcrux, he'd have to be the last one, after all....
