Hi Brothergib,

I see whereyou're going with this, though cannon would suggest 
otherwise.

Yes killing does split the soul, but in order to create a horcrux you 
have to perform a spell. It says in one of the books (I don't remember 
which), that after tryingto kill Harry, Voldemort left Godric's 
Hollow. 

I also think if Harry did have a piece of Voldemorts soul in him, he 
wouldn't be anywhere near as caring as he is. Voldemort lacks a 
conscience, Harry has one. Harry's friends are the most important 
people in his life, as far as Voldemort is concerned, he doesn't nor 
want any friends. In OotP Voldemort posesses Harry's mind, causing him 
excruciating pain. Imagine, if he was a part of him twenty-four hours 
a day. In my mind, he'd have a split personality- sometimes evil, 
sometimes, well, Harry.
