Oh my goodness.  Duh.  Is THAT why DD didn't think Harry could be killed by
LV or anyone/thing else, and why he was so reckless with him in the game
plan?  Of course!  A horcrux can only be destroyed in a certain way, using
certain "tools".  Ironically, if it hadn't been for Fawkes, Harry would then
have been out in the first test (and LV one horcrux down), as the basilisk's
venom is one of those tools...
