> 2. Bearing in mind all the evidence that links Harry to Voldemort, the obvious deduction is that Harry IS a Horcrux. I am sure that Voldemort would think that DD would make that guess too.

I doubt that Harry is a Horcrux and I would go as far as to say he can't even be an unintentional one. If anything I think we can all safely eliminate the possibility of him being an intentional Horcrux at all.

When Voldemort heard the prophesy he knew that a child would be born that will defeat him one day. So this child is a threat to his existence whether he has Horcruxes or not. The guy is proud and arrogant but not stupid. So he will have plans to kill Harry and not keep him alive. I am guessing that you will need to keep the person/animal alive if you intend to have a living Horcrux.

Honestly, not to bash anyone but I think the Harry is a Horcrux is being taken a little too far. Just because a snake is one doesn't mean that Harry is another. Voldemort usually chooses Horcrux on some special significance, one where there is some connection to power. So far he has tried to choose artifacts with some connection to the founders of Hogwarts, with he exception of the diary. I can't see the special significance of Harry other than he is a threat.

Also, it would take time to make Harry a Horcrux. (I imagine). When everyone was at GH on the night Harry's parents died and Voldemort gave Lily the option to stand aside I doubt that he would let her stand aside and let her look on as he made her son into a Horcrux. It also throws away the secrecy factor. She will know about something that he has worked hard for no one to know.
