Yes, and that is the trouble with all this "Harry the horcrux" thingy. 
As I pointed out in "How will it all end?", Voldemort/Riddle has been 
out to kill Harry for nearly seventeen years, before Harry even knew 
he existed. If Harry dies, in whatever circumstances, Riddle wins, 
even if he himself dies. I mean, at least he wins on points: kills the 
Potters, kills Sirius, kills Dumbledore etc. and now kills Harry. 
Harry just kills Riddle. Harry loses, umpteen kills to one. And don't 
say, "But Harry saves the world." Riddle isn't "evil incarnate", he's 
just one very nasty and powerful man. And Harry isn't Aslan, or 
Christ, or whatever. "Saving the world" is too big for him- thank 
goodness! He'll survive!
