I've probably read the prophecy about a billion times and have been 
attempting to figure it out.  I know everyone including Harry and 
Dumbledore believe that for Harry to destroy LV he has to become 
a murderer, ie. that little thing about surviving the other.  It gave 
me an idea. 

What if when LV attacked baby Harry, he not only transferred some of his powers into Harry (parseltongue, Slytherin traits), but also transferred a part of Harry into himself (LV)?  I'm thinking that maybe LV acccidently without his awareness made himself HARRY'S Horcrux! Think of all the times he has faced death and deadly challenges and came out on top, surviving even the most hideous things.  Yes, I am aware of Lily's protective charm, but what if it is not only that?  If this is true and LV is Harry's Horcrux, LV can try to destroy Harry, but will not succeed and will allow Harry to defeat him.  A little twisted in theory, but almost plausible if you let it mull around a little bit in your mind.  I keep going back to what JK said about the prophecy "That it is very carefully worded".  It's sort of one of those read between the lines kind of things.  Any theories or back up for this and did anyone else think this too?
