The Prophecy - an intended Horcrux!

OK, you will have to bare with me whilst I make this point. With 
these books, I think many of us find certain parts do not quite make 
sense. The major problem areas for me are;
1.	Why did the rebounded AK blow up Godric's Hollow?
2.	Why, having spent 14 years trying to regain his body, does 
Voldemort attempt to AK Harry (the very reason he lost physical form) 
moments after his rebirth?
3.	Why does he spend the whole of OOTP trying to obtain 
a `weapon' to defeat Harry, and yet when they meet, he casually 
attempts to AK Harry immediately?

OK, I hope you can follow my logic here. What if Voldemort had 
intended to make the prophecy a Horcrux? What if he intended Harry to 
deliver him the Horcrux, kill Harry, split his soul, and put a piece 
of soul in the Prophecy? He would then have a Horcrux that nobody 
else could touch without suffering madness (except Harry – who would 
be dead). 
Now, if Voldemort was wise enough to attempt this with the prophecy, 
perhaps he would have attempted the same thing on baby Harry i.e. 
make Harry a Horcrux (I fully admit that this theory has been 
suggested before).  Therefore, the very person with the power to 
destroy the dark lord, would have to kill himself, before he could 
truly vanquish Voldemort. 

'Voldemort put a piece of himself in me?' said Harry thunderstruck.
'It certainly seems so'. COS p245 (UK edition)

So what happened when Voldemort attempted to make a Harry a Horcrux? 
Voldemort is the epitomy of evil. Harry was the epitomy of love (his 
mother's love & self sacrifice). I have a feeling that there would be 
a fierce opposition to the merging of such opposites i.e. the 
explosion. This is what `killed' Voldemort and destroyed Godric's 
Hollow.

Finally, this explains why Voldemort so casually attempts to AK Harry 
whenever they meet. He has never attempted it before and therefore 
has no reason to believe it will not work.
