And if a horcrux requires murder to create, then the
Opposite Horcrux requires the opposite of murder--love,
but more than just ordinary love, love that strengthens
the soul of another.
I think that Harry is an Opposite Horcrux (and not the
only one, either. All those to whom Dumbledore has
given a second chance have an Opposite Horcrux within).
Just as Harry experienced the phoenix song as coming
from within himself, he will be faced with a critical
decision and he will experience Dumbledore within himself
telling him the right thing to do.
I don't think the Opposite Horcrux will be an external
artefact, but there could be some kind of external
manifestation such as hearing the phoenix song again
or actually seeing a phantasmal phoenix.
