Welcome Peaches!

I don't think an act of extreme love could create an Horcrux (I still 
believe it's got a silent H), it would create an Un-Horcrux. The 
opposite. Remember that 'good' people have complete sould, so if you 
really love someone, then your sould would be incomplete? it doesn't 
make any sense to me.

The Un-Horcrux (or whatever you may call the opposite), I believe, is 
when your soul grows, so Lily, by giving her life for Harry, actually 
gave Harry a bigger soul, therefore the whole 'power he does not know' 
thing, and Voldemort's incapability to posess Harry.

On a different topic, I've been reading all the Prophesy related 
posts, and I think we're forgeting a very important piece of 
information: Prophesies don't always come true, they don't have to 
come true. If the prophesy was never made, would Harry be "the Chosen 
One"? Nope. The prophesy is actually the reason it will (or could) 
fulfill itself. Like the Oedipus story, if the prophesy hadn't been 
made, would Oedipus have killed his father and married his mother? no, 
the prophesy created the conditions to make it happen.

Do I think Harry is the only one that can kill/destroy/vanquish 
Voldemort? Yes and No. Yes because he is the only one who 1)knows the 
prophesy, 2)knows about the horcruxes. No because either Ron or 
Hermione coul do it for Harry, and also because given the case when 
Harry actually destroys the remaining horcruxes, then "anyone" could 
kill Voldemort, a simple AK could do it. But will anyone besides Harry 
actually do it? Nope, because both Harry and Voldemort have chosen to 
believe the prophesy, and they will make sure it is fulfilled.
