Harry Potter WAS a Horcrux

I have searched the forums and never come across this idea, which
occurred to my girlfriend and I as we were driving across the
mid-west, listening to GOF.

Harry was a horcrux.  We have no other explanation for the connection
between him and LV, and Dumbledore has specifically mentioned that
there is a connection and the scar is part of it.  So, LV stored a
part of his soul in HP, whether on purpose or by accident.

I said Harry WAS a horcrux, but I do not think he is one anymore.  My
reason: Dumbledore's gleam of triumph at the end of GOF.  HP explains
that LV used his (HP's) blood in the potion and that his mother's
protection is gone, and HP notices a gleam of "something like triumph"
in Dumbledore's eyes.

The misdirection is that HP notices the gleam after explaining his
mother's protection is useless now and we think maybe Dumbledore is
evil.  But, Dumbledore feels triumphant because the spell/potion LV
used to get a body back used HP's blood and Dumbledore realizes that
this extracted/removed/un-did the horcrux and that HP is no longer a
storage for a part of LV's soul.

Why else is Dumbledore triumphant?  Did LV make HP a horcrux
intentionally?  Did he know that the spell/potion would cause HP not
to be a horcrux anymore?  Was LV's goal to undo the horcrux because he
realized it was a mistake to make HP his 7th?

The above are not rhetorical questions so please respond to them.
