Horcrux Discussion

Hello.  My name is Sandra and I am new to this list.  I live in
Dearborn, Michigan and admit to any and all who will listen that I am
proud to be an adult Harry Potter fan.

I just joined the list this morning and noticed the discussion on
horcruxes, most especially the one regarding Harry.

Now, I have to say up front that I read the book immediately after
purchasing it that first day and haven't picked it up since so I could
be entirely mistaken about what I'm going to say (plus, when you've
only read a book once, you do tend to miss things).

My question is:  does anybody REALLY know that Harry contains that
last piece of Voldemort's soul?  I remember that he was supposed to be
the sacrifice for the last piece, but does anybody have any idea what
object the soul was supposed to go into with his sacrifice?  I mean,
wouldn't Voldemort have had to have the intended object with him when
he did the incantation and made the sacrifice?  Since it wasn't
actually completed properly (i.e.: he gets blown away and Harry
accidentally winds up with some part of him), maybe part of the soul
wound up in the inatimate object and part of it wound up in Harry, OR
most of it in the object and only an insignificant amount in Harry, OR
none in the object and an insignificant amount in Harry.

The last would mean that there were only six completed horcruxes and
not seven and Harry is completely safe and doesn't have to die for
Voldemort to die.

Again, I've just joined this list and these theories could have been
discussed in the past and discounted, but it's something I've been
wondering.
