Baby in King's Cross chapter of HP7

[Liz]

No: HPFGUIDX 175264

It sounded like the "creature" had a similar form to Voldemort before
he got his body back in GOF.  A creature, wrapped up, looking almost
like a baby.  A hideous baby, that Harry hoped would die when put in
the cauldron.  (Sorry for not having any direct quotes...)
Is it possible that this is the visible form a piece of soul takes
when it's ripped from the whole?
Also, from Slughorn's lecture in HBP, it seems like the soul is torn
each time you murder;  it is this tearing that allows for the making
of a horcrux, and not the making of the horcrux that tears the soul.
Arguably, his soul is in as many pieces as murders he's committed, but
he has only the few pieces in horcruxes that keep him alive.
