Luna respods:
Thanks Carol and Felix for your posts!

I agree with Carol. It is more likely that the word's root is all
Latin

According to this interpretation, a Horcrux is a cross of horror.
Voldemort marked Harry, giving him a destiny that Harry will feel
compelled to fulfill. Following a Christian interpretation, it could
be said that Harry is carrying this "cross of horror," which is his
mission to vanquish Lord Voldemort. I am not 100% convinced that
Harry or Harry's scar is a Horcrux, but I can't deny that this idea
could be a possible explanation to Voldemort's powers transference
to Harry.

What I feel sure of, however, is that Harry will vanquish Voldemort
via Agape love. I think Carol's idea is very close to what could
happen: Harry could posses Voldemort and fill him with this Agape
love until Voldemort and the piece of soul in Voldemort's body dies.
If Harry is a Horcrux and if he survives, then the only bit of
Voldemort left would be Harry or Harry's scar. Harry will have to
live with it, this will be his cross. This will also show that evil
cannot be completely eliminated, it'll remain latent and it is up to
our choices to have it under control. This could be a possible
ending!

Luna, who hasn't made up her mind about this Horcrux issue :(
