Up until I saw the movie last night (free preview), I thought Harry 
might be a horcrux.  There was nothing specific in the movie that 
made me change my mind, but it was different seeing the occlumency on 
screen rather than just reading about it and envisioning it in my 
mind.  I no longer think he is a horcrux.  I think that if Harry was 
truly a horcrux, Snape would have seen some of Voldemort's memories 
too when he was doing the occlumency lessons.  If a bit of Voldy's 
soul was in Harry, I don't think Voldy would be able to control 
whether or not Harry revealed some memories to Snape.  Even 
Dumbledore says, when telling Harry he thinks Nagini might be a 
horcrux, that there is a risk in making a horcrux out of something 
that can think and act for itself.  I believe Harry's ability to see 
what Voldy was thinking, it was only because there is a link from the 
scar and moreso from the blood that Voldy took from Harry in the 
graveyard.  

As an aside, I think Dumbledore may have thought that Harry was a 
horcrux when he found out Harry was having VoldyVision, and I think 
this may have been a partial motive in having Snape give him 
occlumency lessons.  If Snape had seen Voldy's memories, he would 
have reported them to Dumbledore, thinking that he was able to see 
them because Voldy was planting them into Harry's mind.  Dumbledore, 
knowing or suspecting that Voldy had made horcruxes, would make the 
connection that Harry was a horcrux, though.  But that didn't happen, 
so it became apparent that the next move was to continue occlumency 
to strengthen Harry against Voldy invading his mind.  Of course we 
all know how that backfired.

We shall all see in a week, I guess, at which time, I may have to eat 
my words.
