Lorel responds:
I like this idea! Yes, it would explain DD's gleam very well. 
Alternatively, it had occurred to me today that perhaps if Harry is a 
Horcrux, he will experience something similar to the events at the 
DoM: as Harry prepares to sacrifice himself out of love, that part of 
LV's soul still within him flees, unable to coexist with the strong 
emotion. This would pull in the idea of the power of love. I like 
your idea better, though. :)
