Jenn:  This is my first posting and I haven't seen this response 
yet, but I apologize if I missed it.  I am way behind on reading 
the post-HBP posts.

Dumbledore made it clear IMO that all the horcruxes must be 
destroyed before any attempt on Voldemort himself could be successful. If it is true that Harry has a horcrux on him, how 
could he destroy his scar/himself and then be able to destroy Voldemort?  Maybe you could speculate some simultaneous exchange between Harry and LV in which LV destroys the last horcrux just 
as Harry destroys him.  However this seems doubtful to me as I 
think LV would be aware of the danger he would be in if he 
destroyed his last horcrux in the midst of a battle.

What does everyone else think?
