snip I know it seems the Harry must carry (ouch - unintentional 
rhyme) a part of V's soul. it is completely laid out for us and we 
are lead to it like a lamb to slaughter. BUT - there must be more to 
it. I can't say that I know what it is, or that I am even able to 
speculate what the answer might be, but I just don't think it's that 
simple. He may be a horcrux, but I don't think the path was 
intentional by V. - I think it was a complete coincidence (if such a 
thing as coincidence really occurs in this world :))

Emily:
Ringing in to disagree slightly:  I think LV absolutely intended to 
make Harry a horcrux.  I think that is why Lily's death wasn't 
necessary; he planned to use James's death to make Horcrux!Harry.  
Maybe he thought it would be fun for her to have to watch him raise 
her son to be his evil underling.  Obviously, something went wrong 
for Voldie.  

Also, to the point of Horcrux!Harry being an obvious conclusion, I 
think that's ok.  There have been other things that have been obvious 
to us (ie, the existence of the prophecy) but it is still suspenseful 
to watch the character's figure things out.  And it might not go 
quite the way we theorize, but that doesn't mean the general idea is 
wrong.

Emily,
who hopes Horcrux!Harry might help in her Harry-survives-Dementor's-
kiss-and-vanquishes-Voldemort-in-one-fell-swoop theory
