horcrux-making, and had lots of time to find the items he wished to use.

cursed Harry, I don't think the spell touched him because of the
protections of his mother, but rebounded and ignited the fruitcake.
The resulting massive explosion blew Voldemorte into his component
parts, one of which sliced into Harry's head. The other split soul
parts may have rejoined the main part after the explosion, or perhaps
they are stuck in the drywall somewhere at Godric's Hollow.

Carol responds:
Thanks for your support, but I don't quite understand the part of your
response about the spell rebounding and igniting the fruitcake. You're
referring to Voldemort's soul, right, or rather, what's left of it
after he's removed at least four parts and encased them in the diary,
ring, cup, and locket, respectively? And you're arguing that Harry is
an accidental Horcrux even though you don't think that a preparatory
spell was performed?

At any rate, as I see it, Harry's scar was not caused by any "part" of
Voldemort (powers, soul bit, or anything else) striking him, but by
the failed AK rebounding *out* of him. I don't see how a soul bit (or
a power such as Parseltongue) could cut into Harry where the AK was
aimed, and the AK itself wouldn't leave a mark, as we know from the
unmarked bodies of Cedric and the Riddles. This AK entered Harry (he
recalls the burning pain somewhere in SS/PS), but it didn't kill him.
Instead it rebounded and struck Voldemort (who would have died if it
weren't for the Horcruxes). 

I think the cut was created when the AK burst out of Harry with the
force of an explosion strong enough not only to vaporize Voldemort and
blow up the house. How else could the curse get out of Harry, if not
by bursting out of his forehead, creating a lightning-shaped cut much
as Fred and George's brooms created broom-shaped holes in Umbridge's
door when they were summoned? (I think that some of Voldemort's powers
entered Harry through the cut, but I don't think that they, or a soul
bit, created it. IMO, it was the AK that marked Harry, but on its way
out, not in. That, of course, makes him unique in the history of the WW.)

Carol, who really does bake fruitcakes at Christmas and always
"splits" the fruitcakes *before* she "encases" the "bits" (thirds or
halves) in their respective boxes to be mailed to friends and
relatives (not all fruitcakes taste like waxed cardboard ;-) )
