Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Perkins as to (2) many people are speculating that Harry's scar is a Horcrux

Ah. Thanks. I haven't read many LJs, and I missed Anne's post.
I think we are all right.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It would be a great idea -- and it'd also explain how Harry was able to see into Voldie's stuff. Uhhh -- what was the plan for getting rid of the bits of his soul, again?

Re your white font, ita: Maybe since they have to destroy them all, Neville will have to kill Harry. Or maybe there could be a Nip/tuck cross over.
Either would make me laugh.

My main problem with having Harry be one of the Horcruxes is that Dumbledore stressed how chancy using a living creature is, especially one that has a mind and will of its own. Nagini is somewhat reliable because Voldemort knows he can control her. Harry would be just about the worst choice for a control freak like Voldemort, especially since he's tried to kill the boy for years now. Since he was probably going to use Harry's death at Godric's Hollow for his final Horcrux (presuming he had already used the Hufflepuff cup and whatever he chose of either Gryffindor's or Ravenclaw's for his fourth and fifth Horcrux), he only had five Horcruxes around when he got hit by the backfired Avada Kedavra. I'm just wondering if Harry is going to find whatever Voldemort was originally intending to use as the final Horcrux still at Godric's Hollow when he goes there at the beginning of Book 7.

Kathy, I was thinking that maybe it was an accident, or a mistake on V.'s part.

But why does Voldemort want Harry, back, unkilled, so badly? And did something change over the course of the books for that to be the case?
Personally, I have no horse in the race of Snape being a triple agent or whatever, but I kinda hope he's not. Just because all of the sympathetic fanfic out there. More likely, though, Snape and Draco will be redeemed.
I think I hate that word.

But doesn't a previously selected murder split the soul? Harry survived the murder attempt. Dumbledore states that Voldemort has killed enough people to create an army of Inferi, so it can't be any old murder that splits the soul. Yes, he killed Harry's parents, but it's DD's theory that Harry's murder was going to be the one for the final split.

I think this supports this theory Maybe if Harry dies, especially at another's hands, V. looses that portion of his soul.

Maybe DD miscounted, or didn't know about another major death?
