Carol responds:
Or Harry could have the Voldemortian power of possession and not know
it yet, in which case he could possess Voldemort (who would be in
intense pain from the sacrificial love impulse that drove Harry to
possess him and will him to rush through the Veil). Harry's body would
be left behind, the reverse of the situation with Sirius Black. And
the spirit of Sirius could lend Harry his body. ("Harry, take my body
back," as foreshadowed by Cedric.) Harry's spirit could then reenter
his own body, leaving Black's available for burial.
Carol, who hopes people won't get so attached to the Harry!Horcrux
theory that they start confusing it with canon
