The problem with my theory is that both Dumbledore (in the books) and 
JKR (in interviews) refer to it as a backfired killing curse. This 
would rather shoot down the 'intentional horcrux' angle.

However, there is too much evidence that Harry IS a horcrux. It 
really is the only thing that explains much of his behaviour.

That could leave us with 'unintentional horcrux', but is there any 
evidence that an AK would cause a piece of your soul to be left 
behind to then enter Harry. There are two possibilities;
1) Killing someone automatically splits the soul (i.e. killing James) 
but if a Horcrux isn't used, then the soul eventually rejoins the 
whole being. So a spare piece of soul was floating around when Harry 
was AK'ed. Then Harry was the only 'whole being' left for the soul to 
reenter!
2) Unhappy people turn into ghosts (Nick's chat at the end of OOTP). 
Perhaps the ghost is actually a piece of soul left behind! It does 
get complicated by Voldemort's Horcruxes and whether a 'ghost soul' 
could be created in this situation, and then if it was, whether it 
would enter another being.

So, as yet, I have not come up with a theory that does completely 
explain this. Am convinced Harry is a Horceux though!!
