Geoff:
Just to briefly reiterate what I have said in the past, I subscribe to the
opposite view because, if Harry is a Horcrux, then this seems to put
him in a "hiding to nothing" situation.

If all the Horcruxes have to be destroyed to finally dispose of Voldemort,
then this scenario dictates that Harry has to die - not might have to -
but has to. This removes all that Dumbledore has trumpeted about choice
and means that Harry has been doomed from the word go. Why put us
through this enthralling and fascinating series of books when it is a
foregone conclusion that our messy-haired, green-eyed Gryffindor is
quite definitely not going to emerge at the end?

As a member of the IWHTLC, if Harry dies at the end of Book 7, I shall be 
Rowling on the ground with fury. :-)
