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.
