     Let me explain a little better where those of us who believe Harry 
is Packing a piece of Voldemort. Keeping in mind of course that it may 
not be correct.

1.  Voldemort went to Godric's Hollow to kill Harry. His intention was 
to make a horcrux using Harry's death to split his soul. Harry was 
important due to the prophecy, as having the power to defeat the Dark 
Lord. Harry's death would have been used to make his final horcrux.

2.   Voldemort killed James in battle which may or may not have caused a 
soul split.  Hard to say, and probably not important.

3.   Voldemort killed Lily, an unarmed witch defending her son. This did 
cause a soul split.

4.   Voldemort then cast his curse at Harry, which rebounded due to 
Lily's sacrifice and blew him into a million pieces.

5.   One of the fragments, possibly the previously split part of soul 
from killing Lily struck Harry in the head and was embedded there. One 
wonders if the piece of soul as a result of Lily's death might explain 
Harry's green eyes, which are supposed to be important in book 7.

6.   Voldemort did not know what happened to him, although he may have 
figured it out since. He may not want Harry killed for that reason, or 
he has still made up his mind to use Harry's death as his final horcrux.

    So there we have it. If this is what happened, somewhere in book 7 
this has to be figured out.  If Harry lives, the soul piece will have to 
be removed, (I like the Dementor idea), or Harry will die to defeat 
Voldemort.(everybody hates this idea)

KJ: thinking that if we stop considering Harry as a Horcrux, it might 
make more sense.
