I'm snipping off a lot of very interesting theories about Harry being
or not being a horcrux and chipping in my own thoughts (apologies if
these have come up time and time again, I can only come and have a
quick browse not that often...)
It occurred to me that the prophecy gives a clue here: "neither can
live while the other survives" - so Voldemort must kill Harry in order
to live. Or vice versa, of course. There's a defeinite paradox here if
you ask me: horcruxes are made so as to make the person immortal. so
destroying one quite clearly weakens their life. I also wonder that
Voldemort should put a piece of his soul inside a mortal creature at
all. After all, they inevitably die in the end, taking the piece of
soul with them, as far as I understand. Also, putting a piece of your
soul inside another human being seems awfully risky - and in my opinion
Voldemort is too much of a coward to take such risks.
