First:
Try to read here every day but volume/time makes it impossible to
read every post. Please forgive if this has been answered:
How is "horcrux" pronounced? Is there agreement? And what is the
proper plural? Horcruxes? Horcruxi?
Next:
And I know the subject has been beaten to death, but:
LV could not have initially intended to make a Horcrux of Harry,
because it is pretty clear that LV intended to *kill* Harry when he
went to G's Hollow. He attempted yet again to kill Harry when he was
attatched to Quirrel in PS/SS; and yet again as Diary!Tom; and yet
again in the graveyard after he made a new body, using Harry's blood
as part of the ritual magic; and yet again at the MoM at the climax
of O of the Pheonix; and tried to get Dumbledore to do so after he
himself failed then too.
How, then, could Harry, or Harry's scar, be an intentional Horcrux
made by LV? It makes no sense. Dumbledore said it seemed clear to
him that LV intended to make his final Horcurx with the soul-tearing
event of Harry's death, Harry being a *special* person to be
dispatched; and LV wanting *significant* deaths to make his Horcrux
from .... It seems, well, silly, to assume this is incorrect and
that LV wanted to make Harry a living Horcrux, rather than to kill
him.
As for an *accidental* creation of a Horcrux attatched to Harry {eg,
his scar} because of a backfire of magic, that remains *possible* but
if that is the case, LV must remain blissfully unaware or why would
he keep attempting to assisinate Harry {thereby killing one of his
own soul-bits}?
Further:
Dumbledore assumed LV intended to make his sixth and final Horcrux
with Harry's planned death at G's Hollow. If we assume this is a
correct assumption, there must have been an object intended to become
that Horcurx, to hold the soul fragment, once LV's soul had been torn
by Harry's murder.
And LV had a wand at G's Hollow, too, and it is the *same wand* with
which he murders the old muggle in his parents house, and Bertha
Jorkins earlier, and so on ..... *after* he has returned from his
Vapormort stage {yes, even when he had his 'baby body' Scabbers/P
Pettigrew helped him attain}. *The same wand.*
Hence, *someone had to have been at G's Hollow* to retrieve that wand
.... what about the intended Horcrux object? One guesses that
*someone* might have been Peter Pettigrew, as he was the Secret
Keeper and may have been actually showing LV the way to the Potters'
hidden house. Or it may have been Snape, or another Death Eater {or
many more than one }.
Has there been and concensus on who? And if not Peter Pettigrew, how
did LV recover his wand after he was no longer Vapormort? And did
the person who retrieved the wand from the ruins of the Potters house
*also* retrieve the intended Horcrux object, whatever it was?
