Okay, I loved DH, so I disagree with nearly all of your post, but this 
part most of all.  Just because you didn't understand something doesn't 
make it impossible to understand.  It made complete sense to me.  

I was of the Harry-is-not-a-Horcrux camp; I guess if I believed that he 
was, then I'd've understood immediately that Dumbledore was working out 
for himself that Harry was a Horcrux, and that, though Voldemort's soul 
resided in Harry, they were "in essence, divided," meaning they could 
be killed separately.  So, Harry could go into battle with Voldemort, 
sacrifice himself, and yet still live through it.  Since I stubbornly 
clung to my Harry-is-not-a-Horcrux theory, though, I didn't "get it" 
until the very end.
