Bart:
     I was very much against the idea of Harry being a horcrux, too, 
although I believed he was something akin to one. Still am. It just 
appeared that the process of creating a horcrux was too complex for one 
to be created by accident. My feeling was that a piece of Morty's soul 
did move into Harry, but remained separate; this was part of the reason 
why the soul piece could be removed from Harry without his own destruction.
