This is why I believe that Harry isn't a Horcrux. I think this is
explained quite clearly in Chpt 23 "Horcruxes" - p 473 of the UK
edition:
[Dumbledore]
"He seems to have reserved the process of making Horcruxes for
particularly significant deaths. You would certainly have been that.
He believed that in killing you, he was destroying the danger that the
prophesy had outlined. He believed he was making himself invincible.
I am sure that he was intending to make his final Horcrux with your
death.
As we know, he failed."
Voldemort would not put part of his soul into the dead body of his
victim which would just have been buried or cremated. He must have
taken the receptical with him to Godrick's Hollow in which to place
the portion of his soul that separated upon the death of "The one with
the power...". When his body was destroyed the recepticle must have
been left behind there. We know that Hagrid took Harry from the ruins
and I don't think he would have bothered to grab a goblet or other
innocuous looking item. So, unless there was a third party there who
did know the significance, which is debatable as I don't think even
Snape or other Death Eaters knew about them then, if now then one of
the Horcruxes is probably still in the ruins of Godrick's Hollow.
