Irene suggests that Snape had reason to think that Harry was a Dark

thrown off Trelawney. Two different posts that remind me of a third.
One I can't find. It was written pre HBP by Kneasy and suggested
that Snape has long been aware of the bit of Voldy that resides in
Harry. A bit that made him very uncomfortable. Snape may have
arranged the Serpensortia spell (not sure if it was called that in
the book) in order to test Harry's Parseltongue ability; or at any 
rate, his speech confirmed Snape's suspicions. Snape would be 
justified in his concern that Potter would have some evil potential.

vmonte:
Interesting post. I tried to find Kneasy's old post to see what was
discussed then. I've gone through 12/03 - 6/04 and still haven't come
across Kneasy's post. I did find a post by Alla that suggested that
Snape told Draco to use the Serpensortia spell because he believed
that he might be a parcelmouth.

Alla:
Is there any evidence in canon that any other Slyhterin knows this
spell. I always assumed that Snape told Draco this spell right before
the duel. I think that Snape suspected that Harry is a Parselmouth
and wanted to test his suspicion.

Here is the next time the connection is made.   
vmonte:
The idea is that baby Harry was sharing space with Tom. That both
Harry and Tom are in the same body. Some canon to support this
theory is that in CoS Harry recognizes Ton Riddle's name and for some
reason believes that Tom seemed like a childhood friend he had.
You also have DD's comments about "In essence divided..."

Let's say that Tom is inside Harry. When Harry was a child he was
aware of Tom as being a separate entity within, but as Harry grows
older, Tom somehow becomes assimilated into his own personality.

Also, what if Snape has realized that Tom is inside of Harry? Why
did Snape tell draco to use Serpentsorcia during the duel? What would
make him think that Harry might have these powers?

Maybe Snape has been protecting Harry all of these years because he
needs him to survive till the point in time he can remove Riddle from
Harry's psyche.

Here is when I started to think that Harry had more than just some of 
Voldemort's talents.
vmonte:
Someone recently mentioned the "in essence divided" comment by DD.
Could a part of Voldemort, aside from certain talents, be inside
Harry? Is it possible that when Voldemort attacked baby Harry that he
lost whatever was left of his humanity? Could a part of Tom be
inside Harry? Didn't Harry once comment that the name Tom Riddle
seemed familiar, like an old friend he had as a child? Is it possible
that Lily's spell tore Voldemort's soul/essence literally in half?
Could Tom have been absorbed into Harry?

Another fan answered this post saying that they had also thought this-
-previous to my post.

I really think that Harry is a horcrux.
