[QUOTE="John Crichton, post: 2756748, member: 4779"] Well, someone had to say it. This theory has popped up in every HP conversation/thread/MB that I've ever been on. It's one of the popular theories and some people really like it. I am not one of them. It's not bad but it doesn't fit with the path of the hero that Rowling seems to be going for. Harry having to turn his wand on himself to defeat Voldy is nice and dark (I like dark) but it really doesn't seem to fit thematically. The one and only hole I can see in this is that (according to the book) a horcrux cannot accidentally be created. It is a completely evil act and requires a deliberate act of cruelty and malice to be done. Accidentally putting some of his soul into someone that he planned on killing may make a little sense in a world of magic but I don't see it. Just doesn't fit. Harry being saved by the power of his mother's love works for me. The Oldest Magic. It saved him twice (once by proxy) but now that defense is gone. The rest is up to Harry, his friends and the Order. [/QUOTE]
