Sally:

Just to say I totally agree that Harry is not a horcrux, and even
though I'm not sure where, I am certain that I have read JKR totally
denying the rumour that Harry is a horcrux.  I am also pretty
certain that in HBP, DD does say that if Nagini is a horcrux, then
it is very strange that LV would place part of soul inside another
living soul, as it would have more chance of being destroyed through
being killed.

If LV meant Harry to be a horcrux in the first place, then why did
he try to kill him in Godric's Hollow?  Harry's death was meant to
be the murder that would make the next horcrux.  We know that LV
must not have made Horcruxes with every murder, only with
particually special ones.  Harry was meant to die because LV
immediately saw him as a threat, and so would have been the only
other person in his way (other than DD).  This would have been an
important and significant murder, and so he would have isolated it
for the making of a horcrux.

Of course, this is not particularly canon, however, if you read
between the lines of what DD instructs Harry, then it does make
sense.  All though as we know, there is a bit of LV in Harry, DD
does say that it was unintentional.  I think LV would have to intend
to make Harry a horcrux.

Sorry if this is repeating what everyone else has been saying, it's
just that the info is there in the canon, and IMO the conspiracy
theorists have taken the whole horcrux spell on a murder too far.

Sally, who is probably way off the mark, but wanted to get that off
her chest anyway!!
