I don't know if I agree.  It would make sense that Harry's scar 
would be a Horcrux, because I happen to agree with the speculation 
that Harry and Voldemort BOTH die in book 7.  However, the Priori 
scene can be interpreted a different way.

In the GoF (p. 697), Dumbledore explains to Harry what Priori 
Incantatum is.  "One of the wands will force the other to 
regurgitate spells it has performed - in reverse...All that would 
have happened is a kind of reverse echo.  A shadow of the living 
Cedric would have emerged from the wand."  I interpret this to mean 
that all successful spells would have been seen.  Or possibly all AK 
spells, because to regurgitate ALL spells that wizards cast with 
their wands would be tedious.  Harry's spell, although AK, was 
unsuccessful, and therefore would not have appeared in the PI.

means.)
