Voldemort "intentionally" makes Harry a Horcrux?

[dobbyisdumbledore]

No: HPFGUIDX 146342

I know, I know...

Why would he "do that".

Well, because its BRILLIANT.

As far as Voldemort is concerned (through Snape's telling of a partial 
phrophecy) Harry is the child that is destined to potentially stop him.

What better course of action (then) to attempt to 'cover all bases'?

By Killing James, Voldemort has the sufficent murder to create his 
Horcrux. The Horcrux would then put on (into?) the baby Potter.

Voldemort would THEN attempt to kill Harry. If he kills him, he loses 
1 7th of his soul... but also rids himself of the phrophecy child. 
This is a reasonable cost.

However, what 'if' something goes wrong? By putting a horcrux into the 
being that was destined (potentiall) to stop him... Voldemort ENSURES 
that he lives on (due to his Horcrux exsisting in the only person that 
could stop him).

In such a fashion, Voldemort covers his bases. 

A.) Lose 1/7th of his soul but kill the child.
B.) If something goes wrong and he (voldemort) "dies", and the child 
lives, a part of Voldemort lives as long as the child does.

To Voldemort, this is the perfect solution to the phrophecy (the part 
he knows anyhow.)

Now, what goes wrong that night?

Why does Voldemort "fail"? How is his killing curse "returned to 
sender" (if you will).

As we now know, it is Severus Snape that delivered the details 
(partially anyhow) to Voldemort.

I believe that he had an agenda in doing so, and his agenda (and an 
accompanied deal struck with Voldemort) stemmed to be the Voldie's 
downfall.

Many consider that Snape probably had a "thing" for Lilly.

How agonizing (remember what Slughorn says about obsessive love) to 
see your most hated person (James) with the person you "love" (Lilly).

I believe that Snape gave Voldemort the information of the Prophecy 
(Peter gives the location). But in so doing... made Voldemort take the 
unbreakable vow that he would not harm Lilly.

In so doing, Severus rids the situation of James (and possibly the 
child) while making sure Lilly is safe.

So what goes wrong? Voldmort (and followers?) go to Godric's Hallow 
(the Potter's hiding place) and kills James (the murder sufficent for 
creating the Horcrux. He then places the Horcrux in Harry.

He then prepares to use the killing curse on baby Harry. When he does 
so, Lilly gets in the way of the killing curse (sacrifices herself out 
of love for her child) and the result is that he kills her... but it 
also rebounds or he simply "dies" as a result of a broken vow that 
Voldemort has made to Snape. Becuase he promised that Lilly would NOT 
be harmed, when she is (regardless of intent) killed, it has serious 
impact for Voldemort. 

Remember that Voldemort tells Harry that "your mother needn't have 
died". This would explain why that is. It would also (Dumbledore's 
proclamation that Lilly's act of love protected Harry).

It would also explain Snape's changing of his ways. And why he was 
heartbroken by what he had done.
