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
