     Cutting out everything you said for brevity; I'm not so much poking 
holes in your theorizing as much as offering alternative points of view.

     The Horcrux thing is something I paid attention to, as looking 
through the archives of this group (don't bother), you will find that I 
was very firmly in the "Harry is not a horcrux" camp. Here's where I 
made my mistake: I was thinking of a horcrux as something created by a 
specific spell, as opposed to generically a fragment of one's soul kept 
in a container. Now, due to the rarity of creation of horcruxes, 
combined by the possibly unprecedented move by Morty to create multiple 
horcruxes, it is quite possible that Harry is the only case where a 
horcrux was created by a means other than the standard one. The point 
here is that while standard horcruxes behave in certain ways, this does 
not mean that that the Harrycrux would behave in the same manner.

     Oh, I think you missed one of the AK's; didn't Morty fire off one 
in the flight of the 7 Harry's?
