Been there, done that.
We have a bunch of threads about Harry being a Horcurx.

From the thread, "Harry As A Horcrux, Three important questions to ask...."

Quote:

The theory says that it was an ACCIDENT. But don't worry -- it's not life-threatening to Harry.

The basic theory goes like this:

Remember Aunt Marge -- accidents can happen when one is upset, angry or frightened. Harry was not in control.

When Voldemort arrived at Godric's Hollow, Dumbledore said that he was prepared to create a horcrux. That means that whatever he needed -- materials, equipment, intention, mindset, prior meditation -- whatever it takes, he had it with him at that moment. He was good to go. His intended victim (the fresh kill that a horcrux seems to require) was Harry. The intended recepticle for the horcrux we do not know.

When Voldemort's spell backfired, he was ripped from his body and he was not in control. Stuff happens. The "fresh kill" ended up being Lily and/or James, and the recepticle for the shard of Voldemort's soul ended up being Harry.

For lack of a better one, I have given the name, “Bob” to the individual dementor who attacked Harry by the lake when he had been instructed to look for Sirius.

That's three times the dementors singled Harry out. They also tried to attack him on the train and at that Quiddich game. Both times, adult wizards drove them away.

Because Harry is an accidental horcrux, he somehow stands out to them. They can probably sense in Harry the evil shard of Voldemort's soul. Dementors are blind. They were instructed to look for a murderer. This theory says that "Bob" was just following instructions, bypassing the innocent soul and attacking the evil one.

Cornelius Fudge understands and is able to talk to the dementors. They told him that Sirius had been "talking in his sleep," and they were angrier than he had ever seem them.

If asked, can "Bob" explain his actions on that day by the lake?

A "dementor's kiss" removes the soul while leaving the person technically alive. Can "Bob" provide treatment? Can he remove the shard without harming Harry? Some of the horcruxes might be cursed or have special protections added after the fact. This shard will not.

P.S.: If this theory is correct, it won't slow Voldemort down in his attempt to kill Harry. He hates Harry more than he loves the shard. He never intended to create it in the first place. [/b]
