Saraquel:
Up-thread I posted a detailed discussion of the soul in JKRs world 
being more akin to personality or psyche.  It is not a view that I 
personally hold, but it is definitely a view which can be supported by 
canon.  In your post Geoff, you don't say, based on my belief that JKR 
is working from a Christian viewpoint of the soul being .... but 
rather, you appear to me, to be disagreeing with the horcrux idea 
because you personally don't like it. Was that what you meant?

As a general comment, I think, if we are speculating about the plot of 
the book, then we need to make the ideas consistent with canon, as per 
the rules of the list.  I would genuinely be interested to read your 
canon support for your ideas Geoff.

best wishes
