Though I have expressed this opinion many times before,
this seems like another good point to interject it.

Dumbledore explains to us everything we know about 
Horcruxes, he explains everything about Harry's Scar
Connection to Voldemort, he explains everything about
the transfer of Voldemort's powers to Harry. Since he
explains everything we know about everything related to
this subject, how could Harry-The-Horcrux not have
occurred to him. Personally, I suspect it did, and he
discounted the idea.

As others explain, why would Voldemort intentionally or
accidentally create a circumstance in which the person
he was about to kill would become a Horcrux? Further,
why would a person he has repeatedly and continues to 
intend to kill be a Horcrux? 

Sorry, while I can certainly see why speculation about
Horcrux!Harry occurs, I can't personally give any
credence to it. If Dumbledore hasn't thought of it, and he
is our expert on all related matters, then I can't imagine
that it is worth thinking of. Of course, it has made for
some fastinating in-group discussions, and that in itself
has worth, but in the story, I think it is simply not true
or productive. 

Of course, anything can happen, and if I'm wrong I will
gladly and humbly eat my electrons.
