I disagree, I don't see any support to the Harry is a Horcrux theory 
whatsoever in the above statement.  JKR simply means Horcruxes kept 
Voldemort alive, which they would do whether Harry is or is not a 
Horcrux.

Ultimately the Harry is a Horcrux theory comes down to this for me:  
If Harry is a Horcrux then he has to die *before* Voldemort so 
Voldemort will be killable.  There has been, to date, no 
forshadowing, inferences, hints, or anything that anyone other than 
Harry will kill Voldemort so I consider this highly unlikely.  

Further, while I agree the series has had a lot of self sacrifice 
themes, I cannot see what is at its core a childrens series ending on 
such an unhappy note.  Personally I cannot see any possible ending 
for Harry other than Harry + Ginny living happily every after.
