Geoff:
As we are told in HBP, a Horcrux is an object in which someone conceals 
part of their soul. Voldemort has lost two - Harry destroying the soul 
fragment in the diary in COS and Dumbledore destroying the soul piece 
in the ring, presumably between OOTP and HBP. Both of these Horcruxes 
remained afterwards in a damaged condition. 

However, if a person is made into a Horcrux, where does the soul piece 
reside? Indeed, what form does a soul fragment take? Where does our 
own soul reside for that matter? Can we see it, touch it? 

I realise that the diary and ring remain but, as I said, they are badly 
damaged. Now, just suppose that Harry is a Horcrux and the soul piece 
within him is removed, then one assumes that there will be damage to 
the "container", ie Harry. If the Horcrux is near Harry's forehead, that is 
also near to his brain and mind and possibly his own soul so there 
could be a high probability of a risk of serious injury if not death.

Nope, I shall stick with my "Harry is a Notcrux" theory until any canon
evidence emerges to prove otherwise - with my fingers frantically 
crossed that it won't...

Roll on, Book 7. Cor, I reckon it must be less stressful bungee jumping 
off the Eiffel Tower...
