Yup, I read your post 139859. I do agree that Horcrux!Harry seems 
very unlikely. I will add up a couple of more reasons:

LV wanted to make 7 parts of his soul. So if accidentally Harry 
had been made into a horcrux then it means either LV knows about 
it or not:
    a) If he knows why would he try to kill Harry in GOF - destroy 
his own horcrux? - no I do not think so.
    b) If he does not know that harry has been made into horcrux he 
would go ahead and make the 6 horcruxes he had planned. That leaves 
7 horcruxes in place along with Voldy's bodily soul part - seems an 
unlikely scenario given the magical number 7's importance.

I rest,
