As for Harry being a Horcrux... How about this? He WAS one, but he isn't
anymore. I contribute this brilliant revelation to Louis CasaBiana, whose
book, Defogging the Future, is a masterpiece that everyone should read.

You see, there are 24 hours missing. What if those 24 hours were taken to
remove the piece of soul from Harry, and THAT'S what left the scar, since
the AK curse leaves no mark? A very valid theory.

=====================================

Jeremiah:
I'm not so sure about Hary having anything removed from him.
Weh ave to keep a perspetive that the AK curse kills without leaving a mark,
but Harry wasn't killed and he has a mark. It is assumed that nobody has
ever survived the curse except for Harry and, therefore, we have no idea why
a scar would be the result of the events that happened in Godric Hollow.

As far as Harry being or not being a Horcrux... well, if the Diary was a
Horcrux and we met the young Tom Riddle, then Harry's supposed Horcrux would
only be the Voldemort from the night LV killed Harry's parents. Also, if
Harry is a Horcrux then LV's "mental" (or what-have-you) visitations would
have shown LV that part of him is stuck in Harry. I do not think LV would
simply leave a part of his sould all lone in the head/body of the enemy.
He'd keep tabs on it. and LV hasn't.

Also, the theory that Harry is possessed by LV and that must mean Harry is a
Horcrux... well, the feelings of anger, the sudden shifts in mood are from
the current LV and Harry's behavionr as a Horcrux should be from the LV that
was split off in Gordric Hollw. (Now I'm repeating myself... sorry).

The theory doesn't quite fit. It's agood idea, it is possible.... it's just
not completely making sense.

And... who would have removed the Horcrux from Harry's head? Hagrid? Sirius?
Mad-Eye? Madame Pomfrey? Deddalus Diggle? Snape? And then, knowing that
Horcruxes aren't widely acknowledged as even existing in the WW (Sloghorn's
dialogue w/ Tom... from his memory) who would have even guessed that this
would be the case and know to remove it ASAP? Do we even know if Snape is
aware? I also think that removing a Horcrux, accidental or on purpose, would
be very risky business and we have seen that it's removal destroys the
object it was hidden in.

jeremiah: who hopes Harry doesn't turn out to be a Horcrux 'cause that's
just silly to him... but if Harry is a Horcrux he'll eat his own hat and
graciously accept the riddicule that follows... 'cause he's good at dishing
it out, too...
