Voldemort "intentionally" makes Harry a Horcrux! - I've got it!

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). 


Gwen again:

I think I've got it!  What if the soul-bit leaving Harry did not 
vaporize LV, as I originally thought?  Then, LV is standing there, 
everyone dead and his Horcrux failed.  He would be angry knowing his 
Horcrux attempt failed and his soul-bit was lost.  In his rage he 
cuses the destruction.  He would *then* have tried to AK Harry.  

Then what follows falls into place exactly as he states at the end of 
GOF - the protection that prevented the horcrux from residing in 
Harry also causes AK to rebound.  

And the rest is published.

So as I said below, the question is why did James have to die.  What 
was it about James that made him such a significant murder?

perfect sense)
