I'm pretty sure that all of the Horcruxes need to be destroyed before anybody can destroy Voldemort's body. If that wasn't the case, don't you think somebody would have been able to kill him?
I believe that, as of yet, we know too little about Horcruxes to truly make good theories.
Harry doesnt HAVE to kill all the Horcruxes before he kills Voldemort. DUmbledore just said that it would be easier. For example, Harry kills Voldemort, but still has two Horcruxes left. It might take Harry a year to find them, which gives Voldemort enough time to come back. Now say Harry is a Horcrux, and he's destroyed all the rest of the Horcruxes. He then killes voldemort and then immediatley after kills himself. There is no way Voldemort could come back within a matter of seconds.
Remeber when the killing curse rebounded. It normally would have killed Voldemort. But since he has a Horcrux, he was still alive, but only as a spirit. It took Voldemort a long time to come back. So if Harry kills Voldemort, and then immediatley kills himself, there will be no Horcrux for Voldemort to use to come back, and his spirit would be no more.
"Well, you split your soul, you see," said Slughorn, "and hide part of it in an object outside the body. Then, even if one's body is attacked or destroyed, one cannot die, for part of the soul remains earthbound and undamaged. But of course, existence in such a form..."
So, Slughorn says that the body can be destroyed. And like Zeke said, Harry could finish off the rest of the Horcruxes, then destroy Voldemort's body, and then destroy himself. This is all, of course, under the pretense that Harry was a Horcrux himself.
Okay, here are some of my theories:
1. Petunia Dursley knows more than she's letting on. She'll be big in book 7. Remember, in OoTP when she knew about Dementors? Her excuse that Lilly told her is lame. Were Dementors even guarding Azkaban in Lilly's time?
2. Dumbledore...he must have known that horcrux was a fake. It was the green goo in the bowl he was REALLY after. He drank it for a hidden reason. I think it was a poison to counteract the Avada Kevadra curse. And Snape was the only one who knew it. Remember, your heart has to really be into it to deliver the Killing Curse...
3. One of the horcruxes has GOT to be...the Sorting Hat! It was at Hogwarts while Tom Riddle was, and there when he started making horcruxes...
P.S. It can't be the sword of Gryffindor, because only the heir of gryffindor could have pulled it out of the Sorting Hat. Woo woo!
4. JKR is almost certainly going to have to kill Harry off in Book 7. For two reasons. One, if she doesn't, her publishers and fans are going to pester her for a book 8 for the rest of her life. Two, someone will take it on themselves to write their own "sequels" or--Merlin forbid!--a TV series. "Harry Potter...the series"? EEK!
5. It almost doesn't matter if Hogwarts is open next year. Harry and his pals will be spending the year searching for horcruxes, and that will be much easier if they don't return to Hogwarts.
6. I expect a memorable scene at Harry's LAST summer with the Dursleys...
I know for sure Harry won't change his mind like many people think and go back to Hogwarts because JK. Rowling said in her interview she knew she was writing her last quidditch game, so she made it interesting by having Luna commentate.
JK: You know, that was the last Quidditch match. I knew as I wrote it that it was the last time I was going to be doing a Quidditch match. To be honest with you, Quidditch matches have been the bane of my life in the Harry Potter books. They are necessary in that people expect Harry to play Quidditch, but there is a limit to how many ways you can have them play Quidditch together and for something new to happen. And then I had this moment of blinding inspiration. I thought, Luna’s going to commentate, and that was just a gift. It’s the kind of commentary I’d do on a sports match because I'm — [laughs]. Anyway yeah, it was that.
I think that Harry WILL die in book seven along with Voldemort, I have thought this for a while, but now that I just read the theory about Harry being the last Horcrux Im more convinced of this. What do you think???

You can create threads, just make sure it isn't one that is already made.
And Harry Is not the last Horcrux. He didn't have enought time with him to ever do that. And every spell he ever used around Harry, we know what happened. And besides, if Harry was Voldemorts Horcrux, He probablly wouldn't want to Kill Voldy.

There is no way Harry is a horcrux. Voldemort tried to kill him in book 4. I don't think he would try to kill a part of his soul. Besides he couldnt have made it because the book says (as well as the movie shows) he went from lily straight to harry and uses avada kedabra trying to kill him, then he almost died. He had no time...
i also think that maybe ron and hermione might fight voldemort and lose trying to protect harry after he's hit with some curse(just a thought)(it would be pretty cool)
okay first of all on your first post, that was already mentioned. And second of all...Rowling said something like Ron and Hermione won't die or something. Either that...it was for this book...can't remember.
Your all under the impression that Harry is a horcrux. Now the only way for Harry not to be a hocrux is for harry to kill himself. Now Dumbledore said that Harry is the one who will kill Voldemort. Dumbledore also says that anyone who wants to kill Voldemort will have to destroy ALL of the horcruxes FIRST, then go after the last part of his soul which is in his body. If Harry is a horcrux, then he will have to kill himself, which will make him unable to kill the last part of voldemort's soul thats in voldemort's body. So unless someone else is going to kill Voldemort, then Harry cant really be a horcrux now can he?
I agree, and the prophecy talked about either Harry killing the Dark Lord, or the Dark Lord killing Harry. It didn't talk about killing himself (Harry) so he couldn't be a horcrux for that matter, and like stated earlier...why was the Dark Lord trying to kill him this whole time? It doesn't say about someone else killing him either...so it has to be the one that the Dark Lord marked his equal.
