Lilyp:
Hello, I'm "delurking" after two years I'm Brazilian and writing in
English is not very easy to me, but I've been debating this stuff at
LJ and I thought I could say something.

First: I've read all recent interviews of Jo and she hasn't addressesd
the issue of Harry as a Horcrux.

Second, just for you to know: Many people that think Harry is a
Horcrux (which is not exactly my case) think that he will survive,
discovering a way of destroying the Horcrux without being killed.

Now, a brief summary of my own theory. There is a Horcrux inside
Harry's scar. This Horcrux was made by Voldemort with James' death
(Which has to do with why Voldemort wanted to kill James and not
Lily). Dumbledore says to Harry Voldemort was "at least" one Horcrux
short of his goal. Why did DD and Jo use these words? What do they
mean? I think Voldemort was two Horcruxes short and made one with
James' death. With the explosion or something that followed the
rebounded AK (the hose was destroyed, according to Hagrid), this
Horcrux was thrown toward Harry and it penetrated his skull, leaving a
scar.

This theory doesn't have the usual flaws "Harry as a Horcrux" has. The
Horcrux is not accidental and Voldemort doesn't know it is inside
Harry until he tries to possess the boy in the MoM. That's why he
repeatedly tried to kill the boy until then and didn't attack the boy
anymore (and forbid his DEs to do so) after that. And it explains more
stuff: the words "at least", Harry' having a scar, why James and not
Lily. You can see the full details of it in my
LJ(liriop.livejournal.com). And, like "Harry as a Horcrux" it explains
how Voldemort put a bit of him in Harry, without making him a Horcrux.
 And with it, the wording of the prophecy makes much more sense than
any "Harry is not a Horcrux" theory I've read.

Just a last point. I don't think Harry will die, I think he will go
beyond the veil and come back. There are a lot of references to this
possibility in the books (Fluffy and pomegranate seeds are some I
remember without doing research). But before doing that he will be
desperate because he won't know what to do. How can he kill Voldemort
if he has to die before? I think Harry's dilemma will be a much more
important part of book 7 (and it is more interesting, in my opinion)
than Horcrux hunting.
