Harry a Horcrux?

[vivamus42]

No: HPFGUIDX 155795

But if the horcrux is actually the SCAR, it fits.  LV would never have
intentionally made Harry a horcrux, but the scar could have become one
by accident.

My apologies if this has been beaten to death in here; it has been a
long time since I've had time to read.

IF LV wanted killing Harry (killing a baby certainly would qualify,
wouldn't it?) to seal the seventh horcrux, then all the other parts of
the magic must have already been ready.  He probably had an object of
special significance already with him in the Potters' house, and he
had probably done all sorts of powerful magic to prepare for it.

If the horrific, soul-splitting act to create the horcrux was
fulfilled when LV tried to kill Harry, then it would explain why LV's
soul was "ripped from [his] body," and put into the scar, instead of
the special object he had brought.

It would explain Parseltongue, and a number of other things coming
from the scar -- particularly Harry being able to connect with LV, and
vice versa.

It would also imply that, in the ruins of Godric's Hollow, there is
probably some very valuable object, left there on that night.
