Dorothy:
>   I don't think Voldemort had any idea that Harry actually became a horcrux since he certainly didn't do it on purpose.  Voldemort thought that he had to "make" one by virtue of murder, which he did of course, but fell into becoming Vapormort after that one.  :)

Geoff:
Pondering a little further, I think that if Voldemort had realised that he had 
unintentionally made Harry  a Horcrux, he might have been a good deal 
more cautious in his aim of killing Harry because this would also have 
destroyed one of his soul fragments.
