Triin:
What DD might suspect is an interesting topic. I find it unlikely
that, given the circumstances and the highly suspicious nature of
Harry's scar, that DD hasn't at least contemplated this possibility.
But, if he suspected it, would he have told Harry? That would be a
terrible thing to tell, and could easily cause H to commit suicide
instead of saving the world?

But still. The circumstances *are* suspicious. Harry feeling Tom's
emotions, having his skills - just like there was a part of Tom in his
head? Plus a horcrux *was* likely about to be created by Harrys death...

I'd say, certainly DD has thought about it. Maybe he's disregarded the
thought, though. Or has left it for Harry to sort out.

Triin:
Yes, a soul that has been mingled up with an external piece of
soul-material with dragged edges, is not actually untarnished any more... 
Don't you think this could be overcome if, say, the two souls are
still separate, not conjoined, in H-s body? That is, his *body* is
lumbered with the alian soul fragment, but his *soul* is unaffected? 

I had a totally materialistic upbringing, so I have trouble thinking
in the terms of souls, and probably sound naivistic when I try. But
still, let's say Harry's soul is situated in (or connected to) his
heart/brain/blood/wherever, and Tom's soul fragment is situated in his
scar/scull/somewhere else? After all, at least in Potterverse, souls
*are* connected to distinct physical objects?
