Clare:
I have just signed up so hope I'm not raising a question that has 
already been aired - but as DD says that a Horcrux can be concealed 
in a living creature, do you think that Harry himself could be a 
hiding place, and that explains many of the phenomena he has 
experienced?  I have often pondered on the wording of the prophecy 
"neither can live while the other survives" - which implies to me 
that they both have to die - can't wait for the next book to settle 
the question once and for all.  

Thanks, Clare
