I also agree that Harry is not a Horcrux .. and the latest to 
side this is JKR herself -- to rubbish the idea that the sorting 
hat is a horcrux, she has said that a horcrux would not draw 
attention to itself ..... now -- if Harry were a Horcrux, then 
he would try to do a Neville act and try to be as inconspicous 
as possible, no? Why try to be seeker, and really enjoy it, and 
be in the centre of action always? 

Another point would be that -- if Harry himself was a horcrux, 
then, he should have been able to control the basilisk himself 
too -- he would be more potential than a memory!Riddle trying to 
gain strength from another .... right? 

And the memory!Riddle trying to set the basilisk on Harry to 
finish him off, itself would have been the third attempt on 
Harry's life. I had the impression that when horcruxes are in 
close proximity, they have a stronger bond and "together" would 
be more potential and not try to kill/finish/destroy each other 
off .... 

And if Harry is the last horcrux, and this is extremely 
important, then, why should the diary-soul-piece wait to gain 
strength? The strength and the body to be gained was Harry 
himself. Harry could have been possessed from early on ... and 
become Voldemort .... there need not have been a Harry Potter at 
all .. he would be dead long before now. Also, if Harry were a 
horcrux, then, there was no need for the Harry-soul-piece to try 
and repel the Voldy-soul-piece in the MoM.... they could just 
have worked together (assuming that they do not gel back together) 
to destroy Harry's soul from inside .... very easy indeed, it 
would have been to finish off HP... 

All this is JMO.... 

Scam -- surprised that she set out to add a couple of points and 
ended up writing sooooo much :))
