Voldemort "intentionally" makes Harry a Horcrux?

Now Gwen:

I agree with your line of thinking here. I had a theory along similar 
lines after reading HPB.  Since we knew that Harry a scar, and AK 
leaves no mark of any kind (as we've been told over and over again) 
it seemed safe to assume that LV didn't use AK on Harry.  After 
learning of Horcruxes, I assumed that just as you suggest, LV tries 
to cover all bases by making Harry a Horcrux. It is brilliant.

Now, I am no believer in the "Snape loved Lily" theory.  LV tells 
Lily to step aside because he doesnt need to kill her, actually she 
needs to stay alive to take care of baby Harry once he's Horcruxed.

But she wont step aside, sacrifices herself, gives Harry old magic 
protection of love which LV does not expect.  Just as he could not 
touch Harry in PS/SS, so his soul piece cannot stay inside Harry.  He 
tries to Horcrux Harry, but the soul-bit cannot stay in him because 
of all the love. It leaves him and when it does, it makes the scar.  
Think of stone in Slytherin's ring after the soul-bit was removed - 
it had a big jagged crack.  Sound like Harry's scar?

This exploding soul-bit and botched soul-partitioning is what 
vaporizes LV and destroys the house.

Now he did momentarily have a bit of his soul in Harry, which is 
where the transfer of abilities and the mind-link comes from.  But 
Harry is not a Horcrux because it just wouldn't "take".  I believe 
that JKR even said on her website or an interview that Harry (or 
Ginny, either)was not a Horcrux. So he could not have made Harry a 
Horcrux and then tried to kill him, because Harry cannot be a Horcrux 
now.

Problems with this theory?  The biggest contradiction comes from the 
end of GOF, when LV himself says that he tried to kill Harry (GOF Am. 
Hardcover pg 652) and that the curse was deflected and rebounded onto 
him (pg 653). It can be argued that he says it because he doesnt want 
the DE's to know what his real intentions were, but thats iffy.

However later, when the wand is going through the prior incantatem 
there was no spell between the Shadow of Bertha Jorkins and the 
Shadow of Lily (pg 666-667).  Like the wand emitting "screams" for 
the crucio curses, surely the AK sent at Harry would have 
regurgitated in some form?  Even as a flash of light?  So there is 
that indication that maybe AK was never used on baby Harry.

it further)
