Carol responds:
Do we know that Lily cast a spell right before she died? I was under
the impression that she was wandless and helpless. She wasn't fighting
LV as James did; she was offering her life for Harry's. It's her
sacrifice that provided Harry's protection, as JKR has confirmed in
interviews. I don't think Voldemort would have ordered her to step
aside if she'd had her wand. He'd have AKd her on the spot.

I don't think Harry has her soul *or* Voldemort's, just her blood
protection and some of Voldemort's powers (Parseltongue, the special
form of Legilimency that allows them to enter each other's minds
unless blocked by Occlumency, and possibly possession) which
mysteriously entered Harry via the cut that later became a scar.

Carol, still betting that Harry isn't a Horcrux and that he will
defeat Voldemort by possessing him
