TKJ:

I'm not saying he went with the intent to make Harry the Horcrux. I'm
saying he went with the intent to use the killing of Harry to make his
last Horcrux. He would hold that killing to be "sentimental" in his
twisted mind because this person was supposed to be his downfall. See
what I mean?

Geoff, TKJ is right. Dumbledore explained in HBP that Harry was supposed to
be the murder that would create Voldemort's Horcrux. There was no intention
of making Harry a Horcrux becasue, as DD explains, that would be a very bad
choice for a horcrux. However, there are people who believe that Harry
"accidentally" became a horcrux and I'm not inclined to believe it, but I am
ok with being wrong about that.

I would think that, seeing as how murder splits the soul and LV has
committed many murders, the actual "splitting for a horcrux" murders are to
be special but that doesn't mean LV complete the split. It's just a murder
and that's all he needs to start the process. I would think it is a whole
other process to extract the fragment of sould and move it to another
object. I saying that Murder and Horcrix-ing (sprry for that) are not
dependent on eachother. LV can kill but not make a horcrux but you have to
kill to make a horcrux.

The other issue is this: if LV was going to use Harry's murder to make a
Horcrux then LV didn't actually make on... he didn't kill Harry. However, he
did kill James and Lily... but the only think LV did after that was try and
AK Harry... not make a horcrux, so i don't see how Harry is "accidentally" a
Horcrux seeing as how it is supposed to be an immensely complicated spell...

Just my thoughts on it.
