zanooda:

Why not? LV couldn't possess Harry and had to flee his body, but LV's
piece of soul cannot do the same, if it is bound to Harry's body by
the Horcrux-creating spell or some other magic. It is probably
constant torture for this bit of soul, to be surrounded by all this
love without a possibility of escape. No wonder it just sits there,
all weak and alone, not daring to try anything. It cannot possess
Harry, because Harry's "untarnished and whole" soul is stronger than
small and mutilated "intruder".

zanooda:

I always thought that Harry blowing up Aunt Marge was an uncontrolled
outburst of magic. He didn't use his wand, he didn't cast any spell.
He was just "bursting" with anger at the time, and his anger somehow
manifested itself in "bursting" Aunt Marge (almost). I'm not trying to
argue your point about muggle-baiting, on the contrary, I tend to
agree with you. I just think your example doesn't fit here.

Here is one: "While you can still call home the place where your
mother's blood dwells, there you cannot be touched or harmed by
Voldemort". It's from OotP, "The lost prophecy" chapter. There may be
more, but I'm in the process of moving, and OotP was the only book I
could find at the moment. Hope it helps :-)
