Speculating on Voldemort's conscience

Just how far are Harry and Voldemort combined? Do portions of 
Harry 'know' that they are not Voldemort, do portions of 
Voldemort 'know' that they are not Harry?

Voldemort seems fairly one-dimensional now - did he ever have a 
conscience and if so, has he discarded it along the way? Did he think 
it unnecessary and inconvenient, and popped it into a horcrux?  Did 
he lose it to Harry at Godric's Hollow? 

Just supposing Voldemort got all his split horcrux pieces back - 
either they all return to him one at a time as the horcruxes are 
destroyed, say, or they are attracted to Harry's torn horcrux soul 
portion, and Harry collects them all up, maybe along with that 
conscience, and gives them back to Voldemort, or - insert preferred 
alternative theory here  : )
     
Could Harry's pure heart work on Voldemort's conscience? Is the power 
of Harry's pure heart stronger than Voldemort's will, now that 
Voldemort has divided his soul into so many parts? Could Harry 
possess Voldemort, giving him access to his conscience again?  If 
Voldemort gets his conscience back, purified through a Harry who 
knows the details of and has condemned each one of Voldemort's 
horcrux murders, will he perhaps condemn himself and accept his own 
death as the price he must pay? 

Just speculating

who joined this list on the crest of a wave of righteous indignation 
at JKR for shoving Sirius Black through the veil without redemption, 
when his character was such a promising candidate for it, and is 
consequently trigger-happy and keen to redeem everybody, whether 
they're ready or not.
