I don't know about the Potters, but Harry, yes. Voldemort could have 
stunned James and Lily and then finished Harry off. He didn't even 
consider saving James, which makes me believe that it may have 
actually been him that he was intending to make a horcrux with. Now, I don't know the morality of horcruxes, but it seems that maybe killing a defenseless child would split your soul no matter who it was.  Perhaps in this line of thinking, if Voldemort had allowed Harry to grow up on his own and then killed him in battle, it may not have split his soul. I definitely do not believe that Harry's soul will be split by killing Voldemort. He is kind of balancing out the universe by killing him. (no man should become immortal?) Hope this makes some sense.
