a Horcrux be created without the person knowing his soul is being 
transferred?  <SNIP>

Beatrice:

Well, my thought is that LV has so badly damaged his soul by creating 
more horcruxes than anyone ever even imagined.  As he has created this 
damage perhaps it is possible that his soul is reacting in unusual 
ways.  Take for instance his snake like appearance which DD indicates 
is a mark of the damage that he has done intentionally to his soul and 
signifies the fact that he is less human than those with their souls 
intact.  

We know very little about the magic used to create a horcrux.  I 
suspect that it is an immensely complicated process.  I have two 
theories about how this *may* have occurred.

1.  Perhaps, there are spells that need to be performed prior to the 
murderous act in order to prepare the soul for the eventual split and 
encasement.  In this scenerio, Voldemort performed the preparation 
spells prior to arriving in Godric's Hollow, he may even have brought 
the object that he intended his final horcrux to inhabit with him. or 
imagine this sequence of events:  LV arrives murders James and murders 
Lily.  Now there is no reason to rush Harry is only a helpless infant 
after all.  He performs the preparation spell. (perhaps signified by 
the high cold laugh Harry remembers in PoA).  He attempts to murder 
Harry, but the spell goes horribly wrong.  As the AK spell rebounds 
from Harry, it rips Voldemort from his body and completes the rip in 
voldemorts soul, creating two pieces.  One piece is LV's consciousness 
which eventually flees to Albania and the other the horcrux piece is 
wrenched into Harry's scar by the the force of the rebounding AK.

2.  The second scenerio is pretty much the same except that LV does 
not perform a prepatory spell, as the horcrux spell only requires a 
spell after the murder is completed.  In this scenerio, LV soul is 
rent in two due to a combination of the previous self-inflicted soul 
damage and the failed AK.  The soul is already fragmentary and simply 
seeks a receptacle, perhaps driven by the imprint or memory of the 
previous 5 horcruxes and their production.  It is either pulled into 
Harry by the recoil from the failed AK or seeks out a "host" or object 
and Harry is the closest object.

Anyway, it is my theory (although, I am hardly the only one to have 
it).  I am not trying to convert you, just trying to explain my ideas.
