Dumbledore comments on Voldemort's progress in HBP:
"However, if my  calculations are correct, Voldemort was still at least one 
Horcrux short of  his goal of six when he entered your parents' house with 
the intention of  killing you. He seems to have reserved the process of 
making Horcruxes for  particularly significant deaths. You would certainly 
have been that. He  believed that in killing you, he was destroying the 
danger the prophecy had  outlined. He believed he was making himself 
invincible. I am sure he was  intending to make his final Horcrux with your 
death." [2]

So, if  there had been a chance to make Harry into a Horcrux, it would have 
had to  be at Godric's Hollow. But it would seem that Voldemort was 
obsessed in  destroying the person he saw as his most dangerous opponent. 
I agree that on  this occasion he did commit murder twice but I believe that 
his intentions  were then directed to killing Harry and that he did not give 
any thought to  making him a Horcux. As this point, those he had created 
were all encased in  "objects" and the thought that he could create a living 
fragment case may  not have occurred to him.
 
Nikkalmati:
I tend to agree that LV did not intend to make Harry a Horcrux.  I  reserve 
judgment on whether it could occur accidentally, if LV had already  committed a 
murder (Lily) and was primed to make a Horcrux; but in that  case what do you 
suppose he had originally intended for the receptacle from  Harry's murder?  
He had to have an object in mind.  Was it located at  Godric's Hollow?  Is it 
still at Godric's Hollow and will Harry find it or  could it be Godric's sword 
which is in DD's office?  When Fawkes brought  Harry the sword in COS did it 
come from Gordic's Hollow at that time?
