I haven't decided if I believe Harry is a horcrux, but if he is, I can
think of one way LV's soul residing in Harry could be destroyed without
harming Harry - if Harry received a dementor's kiss, and the dementor sucked
out LV's soul instead of Harry's, then it should leave Harry whole. (That's
assuming someone comes to Harry's aid before the dementor has a chance to
continue feasting on Harry.) It would make a very interesting scene, at
least.

Jeremiah:

Well, I would like to chime in on this one. I totally disagree that Harry is
a Horcrux on one basic principle.

JKR was asked if the Sorting Hat was a Horcrux and she said No. Horcruxed do
not draw attention to themselves. Now, granted, Harry isn't one for the spot
light... unless he's on a broom chasing a Snitch. Since Harry is capable of
drawing that much attention to himself I would have to say that he's not a
Horcrux.

However, I have always felt that Harry was going to die in the end. Brobably
because I like the Tragic Hero in literature. It's so stoic and sad. Though
I would also like to mention I hope he gets to live: I'm just not convinced
he will. JRK has always mentioned little things about not having any more
story left after the 7th book. She's said that's all there is are 7 stories
and it's all over, so I think the's a gonner.

But a Horcrux? No way, I just don't see it and I've read all these posts but
I'm still not convinced. Until I read it in the book I will say "No, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no."

(Jeremiah would also like to say he respects everyone's opinion but still
thinks the Harry=Horcrux idea is insane).
