"1. As soon as LV points the wand at Harry, his soul fractures,
leaving part of it in Harry or at least in the scar. Because of
Lily's protective magic, as well as his own soul bit now with Harry,
when the words Avada Kadavara are uttered, it is deflected back at
LV, ripping the remaining part of his soul from his body, the
combine force of the two soul pieces clashing magically destroying
the house.

2. LV, realizing that he must encase this soul bit now, attempts to
take care of that matter, but because Lily's death was a love
sacrifice charm itself, caused the horcrux spell to not properly
resolve, destroying his body, sending one soul bit into Harry, the
other soul part in the other direction, the force destroying the
house."

Kerry:
I believe that in one way or another, Harry does have a piece of
Voldy's soul, and both of these explanations could account for it.
I am particularly interested in the scene near the end of OotP at
the MoM when Harry is hiding behind the statue and he can suddenly
feel Voldy in his head.  While this could be attributed to the
"link" that Harry has been unpleasantly experiencing all year, what
if this "link" is actually the piece of Voldy's soul that resides
with Harry?

If we think back to earlier in the book when Nagini attacks Mr.
Weasley, the general consensus is that Voldy possessed, or in
essence, got into Nagini's mind, to perpetrate the attack.  If
Nagini is one of the 6 horcruxes, this makes me wonder if one of
the characteristics of a horcrux is to allow the original soul to
temporarily join, or visit, the other piece(s).  If this were the
case, Voldy's intrusion into Harry's mind at the MoM could have
been Voldy visiting his horcrux in Harry (his scar or soul).

In HBP, when Harry and DD are discussing Horcruxes, Harry asks if
Voldy can tell when his horcruxes are destroyed.  DD says he doesn't
think so because he has split himself so many times.  This could
account for why Voldy didn't know about his connection with Harry in
the beginning, but he discovered it during the attack with Nagini.
That would have been, in essence, 3 parts of Voldy's soul in one
place.

In regards to destroying the horcrux within Harry, perhaps we should
remember DD's frequent reminders that Harry's greatest power is that
of love.  I don't believe that Harry's death would be the end to that
horcrux, if it does exist.  Perhaps it will be a form of love, such
as forgiveness or mercy.

On a side note...has anyone ever considered that Harry may be
the "something of Gryffindor's" that DD mentioned?

Let me know what you think ;)
