I can't believe it but I have actually come full circle during the
course of this debate. Only last week, my wife and I were laughing at
the naivety of those who believed Harry wasn't a Horcrux. Now, I
genuinely believe that he isn't. I think the facts are these;
Voldemort wanted 7 soul pieces as this was a magical number.
He created the diary, the ring, the locket, the chalice + Ravenclaw's
object (probably the wand).
The final Horcrux was to be made with Harry's death, which suggests
that he had the complete set of founders objects i.e. something of
Gryffindor's was present at GH.
JKR continually claims that the AK rebounded onto Harry, so it is
common sense to believe her!! Also, would Voldemort risk putting a
soul piece into Harry. Nobody had any idea what effect that would
produce. Surely, if the soul piece in Harry created another
powerfully dark wizard, there was the risk that Harry could destroy
Voldemort and become dominant!
When Voldemort was strong enough he realised that he couldn't be
picky, and just had to choose a Horcrux to make the number up to 7.
So he chose Nagini - which is why he looks so snake like!!
Yes, the problem of Harry's Voldemort-like powers remain. But it is
still possible that the rebounded AK caused a transference of power.
At the moment, I am very interested in Snape's actions during the
duelling club in COS. He suspected Harry was the parseltongue - BUT
WHY?? If you are against Horcrux Harry, then it suggests that Snape
knows something about the AK curse (and he knows as much about the
Dark Arts as anyone) that would suggest a transference of power. If
you are for Horcrux Harry, then you could argue that Snape knew that
Voldemort has attempting to make Harry a Horcrux.
