Joe:
There is that nagging bit of information from the end of one of the
novels (SS/PS perhapsâ€"don't have them with me at the mo') where DD
tells HP that LV transferred a bit of himself to Harry and that is
why he is a parselmouth (so maybe it is CoSâ€"Idon't know). That makes
me think again that the "bit" of LV that was passed onto HP is a bit
of his soul. I know that whether HP's scar is a horcrux has been
discussed ad nauseum, but as long as we are discussing what happed
to LV when he tried to AK HP…

Joe, who is not entirely sure about this.
