Ok, I see your point (rather crafty, by the way), but I think it 
needs to be wondered if Voldemort has to intentionally create a Horcrux.  DD said he would have created one had he killed Harry 
(from Harry's murder), but he didn't succeed, which led me to 
believe that no Horcrux was created that night (and Voldemort 
leaving the scar was never intentional, which we know).  Nagini 
would also then still have to be explained, as Rowling led us to 
assume she was the sixth horcrux.  And if Harry were trying to 
kill Voldemort, and he had a horcrux on his head, how on earth 
would he ever be able to finish the Dark Lord off?  Everytime he 
tried to kill him, Voldemort would remain as weird spirit-thing, 
ala books one-three.  This, of course, would support the Harry 
and-Voldemort-must-kill-each-other theory.  It's worth thinking 
about.
