How could Harry possibly be a Horcrux?  Voldemort was going to kill
him.

If he had made him a Horcrux BEFORE he killed him he would have
destroyed his Horcrux when he killed him.  If he was going to make
Harry a Horcrux AFTER he killed him then:

1. If he had successfully killed him we have Voldemort putting his
Horcrux into a corpse!
2. Voldemort didn't manage to kill Harry and wasn't in any kind of
position to create any kind of horcrux until he was "back" at the end
of HPOP.  So how could Harry possibly be a horcrux?

BTW how do we know all seven horcruxes exist? Dumbledore was merely
surmising that Voldemort had managed to create all 6 new ones.  He
assumes that Nagini was used when the old caretaker was killed but we
have no evidence that this is the case.  Given that Voldemort would
want Harry's death to make a horcrux and that he has tried now three
times to kill Harry personally and that all the deatheaters have
strict instructions to leave Harry for Voldemort to deal with
personally it seems more than likely to me that Voldemort still has
at least one horcrux to create, the one he hopes to create when he
kills Harry.
