Ok, this is not a bout horcrux!Harry, but it is about LV's soul and
it contaminating Harry.
Ok, so we know that LV used the killing curse on Harry and due to his
mother's sacrifice he survived with nothing but a scar and a bit of
LV's power. (Seems like a bounced back effect, ricocheting back at
him or something?)
Then again, it could have been something else. I think it was
something accidental during the process of LV's body being destroyed.
Has anyone read the 'changeling theory,' because this has a bit to do
with that, sort of. I think it was that now that LV has his
horcruxes, he can't be killed. (Doesn't matter how many he has as
long as he has ONE at this time.) So he goes to GH to kill Harry, and
DD's suspicion was that he was going to use Harry's death to make yet
another. (Perhaps the final,) horcrux. But it doesn't happen as
planned and LV can't make a horcrux when he has no body to hold a
wand!
So he is 'less than the meanest ghost' and needs to possess others to
survive, aside from being simply Alive due to the fact his soul is
still safely ensconced within a horcrux somewhere.
So what if a part of LV's soul that had split in his attempt to kill
Harry, (or had previously in his killing of James and was still
floating around the area...) and been contaminating Harry all of this
time? That would explain his parselmouth and the connection to LV's
emotions/mind, if a bit of LV's soul took refuge in Harry's body
through the scar, since it would need a container, so to speak, and
Harry was vulnerable to it? Does this make sense? I think it would
have been possible in the magical backlash, to have done so.
LV would still be a wandering soul/existance, and still be as he was
described in the book, and Harry would have had a piece of LV
accidentally, which wouldn't make him a horcrux but more along the
lines of just connected in a small way. Maybe the blood needed for
the potion to revive him had lessened or removed that connection, and
that was what had gotten DD's attention? Maybe now it's LV that's
contaminated with a bit of Harry's loving soul?
Any other thoughts?
