I'm not greatly enamoured of this theory, but my understanding is that 
at GH Voldemort was trying to make a Horcrux out of a thing using 
Harry's death, and, in a sort of radioactive spider explosion kind of 
way, Harry ended up as the Horcrux instead.

In subsequent encounters, I think we are to take it that Voldemort 
doesn't realise that Harry is a Horcrux (so presumably he can't feel 
that he has one more piece of his soul missing than accounted for by 
known Horcruxes - after all, he probably had other things on his mind 
in the immediate aftermath of GH).
