Drax:
Well keep in mind that Tom Riddle (still not publically known as
Voldemort) was the one who tried to kill Harry in CoS, so he would not
know about Harry being a horcrux, if he is one of course.  It is very
possible that Harry is a horcrux too, and that Voldemort will not die
at the end.  It is possible that a total of 5 horcruxes wil be
destroyed, and when Harry destroys Voldemort's body his spirit will be
somehow forced to merge with the piece inside Harry, forever forcing
Voldemort to suffer the pain he received when attempting to possess
Harry in OotP.  I do not really agree with this theory because Harry
would also likely wallow in pain because of it too.
