No we don't! JK has left us a get-out-of-jail-free card on this:

"The snake?" said Harry, startled. "You can use animals as 
Horcruxes?"

"Well, it is inadvisable to do so," said Dumbledore, "because to 
confide a part of your soul to something that can think and move for 
itself is obviously a very risky business."

Ah if only it was `obvious'!

Even if Harry is a HRX we don't necessarily have to assume he must 
fall on his sword. How he might go about jettisoning an unwanted 
tenant who can tell?
