MercuryBlue:
But if Harry is a Horcrux, would Voldemort know? Possibly he would be 
aware that a Horcrux was created at Godric's Hollow, but if he does, 
it doesn't necessarily follow that he knows it is Harry. It's just as 
likely, from his view, that the Horcrux he created at Godric's Hollow 
is whatever object he brought there to make a Horcrux out of. And if 
he hasn't seen the object since Godric's Hollow, he wouldn't know for 
sure whether it's a Horcrux or not.

Besides, we know Voldemort doesn't care about his soul (else he'd not 
rip it up). If he does know that Harry is a Horcrux, I think he'd 
rather have Harry dead and no longer a threat to him, with the 
unfortunate side effect of part of his soul dying with Harry, than 
have this particular Horcrux remain intact, with the unfortunate side 
effect of Harry remaining alive and posing a very real threat to 
Voldemort and his plans. He can always make more Horcruxes.
