Chys:

Didn't JKR just say in her recent site update something interesting 
about the sorting hat and something that contradicts the 'Harry is a 
Horcrux' theory? 

It was something along the lines of 'Who would want a talking horcrux 
that could give away your secrets?' Well, we know it's not 
intentional, if at all. I think that may have been a hint in that 
direction, or maybe I'm reading this too deeply. He has a connection 
to the man, but he isn't the man himself, right? But here I go 
remembering DD and the silver instrument- a good question to JKR would 
be what was the significance of that?
