Thank you so much, Darqali, for your recent post on the 
Harry/Horcrux issue.  I have been opposed to this theory for a long 
time, but it has taken me a while to get my thoughts in order, and 
your post helped!  

To me, the answer is obvious: Harry is certainly *not* an intended 
horcrux: he was supposed to be the death that allowed an horcrux to 
be made!  If Harry's dead, then what's holding the piece of soul?  
However, even beyond this reasoning (?) DD tells Harry that he 
thinks it's possible that the last horcrux is in Nagini.  If Harry 
was *supposed* to be the last horcrux, and that step failed, then we 
can see why Nagini would need to be that last horcrux.  

IOW, the sixth horcrux was never created at Godric's Hollow, because 
LV turned into Vapormort and couldn't use a wand to create that last 
horcrux.  So he does it with Frank Bryce's death, there in the 
Riddle House (beginning of GOF) and makes Nagini the horcrux.  This 
also, BTW, gives LV an extra horcrux since it seems pretty clear 
that by GOF he's heard about the Diary Horcrux being destroyed in 
CoS.

I agree, at least in theory, with Darqali, that somebody else was at 
GH to retrieve the horcrux object.  Or, maybe, the object is still 
there!  But I don't believe that Harry was intended to be the last 
Horcrux - only the "sacrifice" that would enable the horcrux to be 
made.  I am still open as to him being an unintended horcrux - 
although it will take some persuadin' to get me there! ;)  

All IMO, of course.

Thanks - Pat
