Though, I can't imagine why Voldemort would ever consider intensionally making a Horcrux out of Harry's dead body. The new Horcrux 'body' must be something that will endure. It must be something that will last so that it can contain the soul piece safely.  If Harry's body lies rotting in the grave or is cremated, that doesn't bode will for the long lasting properties of the Horcrux.  <snip>


So, it ends as it began. VERY SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES INDEED.
HEY! IT COULD HAPPEN!


Bookworm:

With Jo Rowling writing, almost anything could happen! ;-)

But I agree with you about using Harry as a horcrux.  It doesn't make sense to use any person or other living thing to hold a part of your soul.  That person/thing could die from natural causes or accident unrelated to Voldemort.  Then what happens to that piece of soul?

Does it hang around until it can attach itself to something else?  Does it die with the host?  If it dies, does that mean the creator can never have a complete soul again?  Or do the remaining pieces form a new soul when they rejoin?

Happy Halloween, everyone!
