If my memory serves me correctly, as soon as Voldemort tried to kill Harry, the protection which his mother had afforded him made the curse some what 'backfire' onto Voldemort himself, which is what had rendered him powerless for so long.  The result of the failed attempt on Harry was the scar,  the scar of a killing curse gone wrong.

Candy,
Here is my .02

Considering that obtaining a Horcrux is a dark magic act, that usually also involves a spell, something Voldy would have to do voluntarily (sp?).  My theory I guess is that he would have to say a spell/perform a spell while killing someone and have the object he was turning into a Horcrux.  So how could he do that with either Harry or his scar?   That would be something done on accident, and I don't think he could have done that.  He killed Lily, and when she fell, he walked towards the crib, and in thinking this baby would turn into the one who could destroy him, he tried to kill him.  But because of what the prophacy said, he "marked him as his equal" by performing the AK curse.  That scar is that mark, isn't it?  or as Candy put it, a spell gone wrong.  I agree completely.  I just disagree that it could be a Horocrux.  

My biggest hope/theory is that since JK has stuck to the "scar is the last word in the 7th book " thing is = Harry kills Voldy, and Hermoine or Ron, or Ginny says to him, the last sentence in the book, 
"Harry, where is your scar?".
Can we hope that Harry lives, and the scar is gone, since it was his mark as Voldy's equal?  The mark of the failed curse?  The Dark Lord is gone, so is the scar?  That is my hope of course.
