A question on LV's soul(s) and Harry not a horcrux.

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?
