Tonks here:

Ok. We know that there is a bond between Harry and LV. So LV put
part of himself into Harry. So what LV did was to come up with a
method that if anyone tries to AK him he is able to put his soul
into that person. Would explain why DD wouldn't try to AK him. Not
a total answer, but I don't know what else to add. Any helpers?

I've often wondered why Harry seemed to have deja vu while looking at
Tom Riddle's name (diary scene) in CoS. Harry felt as though
Tom's name was familiar to him, like a childhood friend he had
forgotten. He also looked at the diary thinking that he would like
to finish the story that was started there. Pretty strange stuff,
right? Does Harry have more than just transferred talents from
Voldemort? How about if Tom Riddle is trapped inside Harry?

Perhaps Lily's spell did more than rebound Voldemort's curse. Maybe
it split his soul in half.

There is another theory called the "Changeling!Harry" variant theory
that's been around for a while. It's a combination of the original
Changeling theory, but with a twist.

I was able to find this theory online:
http://www.redhen-publications.com/Changeling.html

I'm going to quote a couple of paragraphs but you really need to read
the entire theory.

from redhen: "In exploring the basic terms of the Changeling
hypothesis, our first question is: Why on earth did we believe for so
long that the Avada Kedavra curse did not materially affect Harry,
apart from giving him his scar?
Because it did. In fact that curse quite obviously affected Harry. It
is widely and unblushingly admitted to have affected Harry. By the
middle of CoS he had even been shown to have a trace memory of the
name "Tom Riddle". Which sounded familiar to him even though he knew
he had not ever heard it before. He is a Parselmouth – like Riddle -
despite there being no stated history of this gift in the Potter
family tree and his mother, being Muggle-born, is unlikely to have
passed it down to him. In OotP we were finally told straight out
that, now that Voldemort is back on the physical plane, the link
between them which we saw glimpses of as far back as PS/SS and later
in GoF now goes in both directions.

What else did that botched AK do to him?

Is he even the same Harry Potter?

Are you sure? Are they?"

vmonte now:
This theory also explains why the Voldemort we know seems to be a two-
dimensional caricature and not the leader he once must have been...

redhen: "The Changeling Hypothesis also has the very real advantage
of offering us a welcome explanation to resolve the discontinuity
between the glimpse of Lord Voldemort which we were given at the end
of Goblet of Fire and all of those accounts of the compelling and
charismatic leader that he must have been before his first defeat in
order to have initially attracted so many devoted followers and to
win so much popular support. What we saw simply does not square with
those accounts. The creature we were shown in the graveyard of Little
Hangleton is something that no one in their right mind would follow,
on any consideration apart than that of fear or force.

Unless; as now seems all too possible, the Voldemort who returned is
not, in fact, quite the same entity as the one who was defeated at
Godric's Hollow, despite the fact that he has the same appearance and
all of the former Dark Lord's memories."

vmonte again:

This could also explain why no one but Harry can defeat Voldemort.
Perhaps Harry is the only person who can rid himself, or perhaps
completely merge this entity with his own. A sort of Ying and Yang
merging. 

I also want to add that Dumbledore did not know exactly
what happened at GH (he tells MM this after GH).

I'm going to propose that Snape was at GH that night and that he
later told DD what he suspects happened. (I base this partly on the
fact that Snape whispered to Draco the spell that produced the snake
in the dueling scene of CoS. Did Snape find an opportunity to test
his theory?) If this is true, then Snape changing sides, and becoming
part of the Order, so that he can be near HP at Hogwarts, sounds less
like a conversion/moral epiphany, and much more suspicious and 
calculating, in my opinion.

Finally, has Snape been protecting Harry all these years--or
protecting his true master who is still trapped inside?
