Carol responds:
It sounds to me as if a deliberate act is required to
encase the soul in the object *after*
the murder has been committed; certainly no such
spell was performed at Godric's Hollow. 

Now Len:
Let's for a moment converge "Harry Horcrux?" and "Who
else was at GH?" and approach it this way: Who was at
GH, that fateful night, with dark (strong?) enough
powers and magical know-how to cast the horcrux spell?

Snape?
Malfoy?
Dumbledore?

I can't think of a reasonable motive for either of
them to perform the spell.

If we assume that the purpose of the spell is twofold,
fisrt to extract the soul shard from the murderer's
body, and then to seal the shard in the vessel, then
we can also imagine the scene at GH, with the main of
LV's soul either flitting around the place, or having
fled to parts unknown (Albania? Hoboken?), and a very
small shard doing whatever it is that disembodies soul
shards do. 

Does it get attracted to Harry's cut and enter on its
own? Does somebody else enter and cast a binding
enchantment to bind it into Harry?  

I still can't think of a compelling reason for either
scenario. 

I don't think Harry is a horcrux, but I also don't
have a plausible explanations as to what links Harry's
scar  and LV.

Plausible explanations and wild theories welcome.

Len.
