Biff: I am starting to believe in this theory more and more, 
however, the problem I have always had was that I couldn't believe 
that Harry died in the final book. While I could very well be wrong 
(and am getting nervous about the possibility that I am), I can't 
believe that the hero of story originally meant for children would 
sacrifice themselves and die for the greater good. But if Harry WAS 
a horcrux, how would he destroy the horcrux and live? This was my 
dilemma until....
I happened to see a snippet of an MTV special online and heard the 
founder of Mugglenet.com, (who I think has moments of brilliance)
make a comment in passing. He said something to the effect that 
there is probably a very good reason why JK Rowling created 
characters who can suck the soul out of a person. 
A blinding flash of light, followed by thunderous and triumphant 
music (which startled my co-workers to no end), and I had my answer: 
Harry is a horcrux. His ultimate sacrifice is to submit to a 
dementor and let them suck out his soul, only it's not HIS soul- 
it's LV's. He lives, although he is never his former self again. 
I'm sure many will disagree with this, but I am fairly convinced.
