Of Souls and Death

Hi there:

I've been rereading the series over again (who hasn't eh?)and
have decided to delurk.

It seems clear to me that Harry could not be a horcrux as he and 
Voldemort are, despite a sharing of 'abilities' are not linked
on a soul level.

My reasoning: Dumbledore was checking his little silver instrument, 
(OOP)after the incident of Harry being in Nagini's mind when the 
snake attacked Mr Wheasly, and a doubled smoke snake appeared.  
Dumbledore said:  "Naturally, naturally," "But in essence divided."  
He then had a look of grim satisfaction on his face.

It seems to me that although Harry shares some of Voldemort's powers
and that he passed something along to Voldmort that they are two
different entities.  Destroying one would not destroy the other as
they do not share a soul.  Harry, therefor, could not have been made 
a horcrux by Voldemort the night he 'died'.

Next point:  One thing that keeps coming up in POA over and over
again is that the Dementors kiss is a fate worse than death. 

Dumbledore, in the MOM, tells Voldemort that there are things
that are much worse than death.

Do ya think?  Do you??  This would leave Voldemort soulless 
and defeated yet Harry, in the end, still would not have killed.

Thanks for letting me get that off my chest!  *phew*
