Carol:

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.

Doug:
OOoooH! Now that's very interesting, very interesting.... Hmm, but if  
Avada Kedavra doesn't usually leave a mark?....

Carol:
... 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 ...,  
but it didn't kill him. ...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.

I don't see how a soul bit (or a power such as Parseltongue) could  
cut into Harry where the AK was aimed,

Doug:
This implies for me that the scar is the conduit, the sign of the  
curse incomplete. The curse  is still, in a sense, 'Live' between the  
two of them through the scar.

I have been proposing a theory of magic, based admittedly on a small  
bit of canon, that of Lupin's explanation of the Patronus spell. A  
thought completely of Happiness is projected to become a kind of  
impenetrable Dementor shield. I think that that is basically how  
magic works in Potterverse, a thought is manifest as real, like an  
image on film is projected against a screen. So to enchant an object,  
the projected image is severed and now exists in the now enchanted  
object. Otherwise they return to the caster.

And as to the soul ..... what better to force the removal of the life  
force of another than by projecting your own?
