I just thought of something about this Harry-Horcrux theory.  At the end of Order of the Phoenix we know LV couldn't possess Harry long because Harry was filled with love, the emotion that LV detests.  For this sole reason I don't think Harry is a Horcrux.  Ginny was partially possessed by LV in Book 3, but the Horcrux was not in her body.  Plus LV even said that when he possessed animals they were shortlived because he would suck the life right out of them.  I would think that Harry would have been greatly weakened already and with the sole fact I said earlier.
