Harry a horcrux?

Various people have suggested that Harry is a horcrux, and quoted the 
core of the prophecy - "neither can live while the other survives" - to support this.  I take the opposite view, for if Harry is a horcrux, 
then Voldemort can only live while Harry survives.  If Harry were to 
die, then Voldemort could also die (assuming the other horcruxes, which could well include Godric Gryffindor's sword..., have been destroyed).  

The prophecy seems, to me at least, to lead to the conclusion that only one can survive their conflict, when the Harry/horcrux theory implies that both survive or both die.

PS - Hi, new to the group!  I'm a librarian from Canterbury (UK), and I 
loved the scene where Pince discovered Harry's abused textbook.
