Okay -- I think you are thinking along the same lines as I am.  
After finishing the book, and considering what JKR has said about 
the finality of Book 7, I found myself wondering if Harry was not 
himself a horcrux.  Since all of the other objects have some kind of 
significance, or even a distinctive look to them, wouldn't it make 
sense that Harry is one as well?  I foresee Harry, Ron, and Hermione 
finding and destroying the other horcruxes in Book 7, only to 
realize that Harry is the final piece.  JKR has always said that 
Book 7 would be the final book, with nothing coming after.  She has 
also said that beloved characters would die throughout the series.  
I wonder if Harry will feel the need to destroy himself in Book 7, 
that Hermione will be the only one who can find a way to separate 
him from LV's soul, but will be unsuccessful.  I have always thought 
that the only way to destroy LV owuld be to destroy Harry as well.  
IF Harry's ability to love is what separates him from LV, then 
wouldn't sacrificing himself for the good of the world be the 
ultimate act of love, just as his mother sacrificed herself for him?
