zgirnius:
I have no strong opinion; certainly, I think Harry being a Horcrux is 
not ruled out by anything in the books.

I think the solution to your conundrum is that Voldemort's soul bit 
is not attached to Harry's soul, but to Harry's body (perhaps, 
specifically, his scar). So, Harry's body has, like every other body 
not Kissed by a Dementor, a soul. In Harry's case, that soul is whole 
and untarnished. Unusually, it also has attached to it in a different 
way (via the Horcrux process) a small bit of Voldemort's soul.
