Carol responds:
For the record, Harry's future scar was still an unhealed, open cut
when he was placed on the Dursleys' doorstep. If a soul bit somehow
got in there (on its own initiative?), how could it have stayed there
without the incantation required to encase (seal) it inside the cut?
The cut became a scar without any such incantation as part of the
normal healing process.

Certainly, Voldemort transferred some of his *powers* (Parseltongue
and possibly possession) to Harry, and the scar formed a mind link
between him and Voldemort, but that doesn't make it a Horcrux, which
requires an incantation. (Slughorn: "There is a spell. Don't ask me!")

I would join Lupinlore in condemning Dumbledore's behavior as
"reprehensible" if he believed that Harry's scar was a Horcrux and
neglected to inform him of that possibility. He lists the objects he
believes are Horcruxes, and I think that he's correct.

Carol, sure that accidental Horcruxes are contrary to canon
