Carol, who still doesn't think that Harry is a Horcrux or that one can
be created accidentally or in advance, any more than a cake can be
"encased" in a box before the cake is baked

Sarah:
I know I have belabored this point, but it really doesn't seem
far-fetched to me that an object can't be prepared to accept the soul
slice in advance of the murder.

Going with the cake analogy, I think this is a little flawed.  If we
believe that Tom Riddle *ever* had a soul (and I think we must) then
the "cake" was in fact already "baked." It has only to be "sliced."
A Muggle could probably conceive some Goldberg device to snatch a cake
slice once it is sliced from the rest of the cake, and pull it into a
box.  Is it so hard to believe a wizard with the powers of Lord
Voldemort can enchant an object such to ensnare a slice of something
once the slice is separated from the whole?

Julie:
I do not believe Harry is a Horcrux either.  I think LV is a little
smarter than that.

Sarah:
Problem is, he wasn't smart enough to foresee any of the rest of what
happened at Godric's Hollow.  If part of it went so wrong, why not the
rest?
