I agree about the piece of Voldie's soul floating around GH. My 
confusion starts with the fact that Voldemort killed James, but not 
Lily! Bearing in mind that to split the soul you need to commit 
murder, it does tend to suggest that Voldemort used James to split 
the soul (particularly if the soul is then floating around when 
Voldemort faces Harry). Which then leads to the probability that 
Voldemort did not intend to kill Harry. Surely if Voldemort was going 
to set up a Horcrux that night (other than Harry), he would have used 
Harry's death to split his soul!!

I'm interested in how this ties in with Voldemort's possession of 
Harry in OOTP. Voldemort's possession of Harry seems to activate the 
curse, but it is Harry who is in pain, not Voldemort. Although, once 
again Harry's love seems to deflect the curse.
More importantly is Voldemort's indication to DD, that if he killed 
Harry at this point, then he would kill Voldemort. Is Voldemort 
suggesting that DD knows that Harry is a Horcrux and can therefore 
rid the world of Voldemort if he is willing to sacrifice Harry?
