Neri:
I thought that Rebbeca's original post was actually for the
Horcrux!Harry theory, although she didn't use that term.

Going by Dumbledore's logic, it's Harry's *choices* that show the true
condition of his soul, not the soul's composition or origin. In fact,
in that very paragraph were Dumbledore talks about the Harry's
"untarnished and whole" soul he says it was in spite of"
"temptations", "suffering" and "lure of power like Voldemort's". How
exactly was Harry lured by powers like Voldemort's?
JKR first used the prophecy as a cheap plot device, but one book later
she made it thematic, and the theme was the theme of choices. I expect
her to do a similar thing with the Horcruxes plot device, and the
theme will be the same.
Neri, embarrassed by the compliments.
