  a Horcrux was created with intent?? Am I wrong in this thought. Can 
  a Horcrux be created without the person knowing his soul is being 
  transferred? <SNIP>

  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.

  That makes alot of sense to me.  It may well have "infested" Harry in the way The other "infested" Quirrel.   Very well said and I am now very glad I asked.. LOL

    thanks  Lana
