Harry a Horcrux? No.. Something different...

I am wondering where people keep getting the idea that the simple act of
using a killing spell creates a horcrux.. I find this HIGHLY unlikely
that everyone who kills anyone is making horcruxes willy-nilly, right
and left, popping them out of their ears or whatever. While the whole
idea of soul splitting by killing is all very fun for some, its not
likely that it just creates a random horcrux. If.. and I say IF,
wizards killing splits the soul, then likely all the pieces stay
together normally and the person just has to deal with it, with nothing
more then whatever regrets they had caused by killing.. However, this
means that Voldemort was likely carrying a number of pre-enchanted
horcrux 'storage' items with him when attacking Harry and his parents.
Posibly triggered by him killing someone or each item might have to be
set for a specific person to be killed by the owner to activate it?
Making a horcrux likely takes a pre-enchanted vessel to house the soul
chunk, then once the soul piece is trapped in the item, the person
suffers no regrets for what they did as they are removed from the split
piece of soul. Its unlikely that one can accidentally make a horcrux
due to the vessel having to be properly enchanted to receive the soul
piece. If... and I say IF, Harry absorbed a piece of Voldemort's soul
meant to go into an enchanted item, then he is not really a horcrux, as
that piece of soul is apt to merge completely with Harry's, giving him
some of Voldemort's powers and a link of sorts to him, but NOT making
him a horcrux.. He might be some form of 'anti-horcrux', absorbing a
piece of soul meant for an enchanted item, but being a free-willed
being, unlike Voldemort's snake, the 'soul piece' will not be the same
after long term exposure..
What happens if Voldemort ever got back that piece of soul, now
'changed' by Harry? Would be like suddenly giving Voldemort a
conscience and the horror of what he had done with his life and the
taint of 'love' in that piece of soul might destroy him. Harry would
lose the powers he gained from Voldemort, but that would not really
matter much.. No, I do not believe Harry is technically a horcrux, but
something more, something taking a piece of an evil creature's soul and
purifying it for return later...
