Safe? Perhaps, but I figured that nothing is safe anymore, not now that the Death Eaters have found ways to access Hogwarts. However, the sword, I believe is safe, though, despite this contradiction, because I believe Dumbledore accounted for its safeguard after the breakdown of security at Hogwarts. This view, however, could be quite mistaken.
i think harry himself is the last horcrux. if you think about how all this started, voldemort had just killed his parents, which makes him ripe for horcrux making. then he, eventually mistakingly, tries to kill harry, which backfires. i think that, along with the fact that harry was protected by his mother's love, was the point that harry became a horcrux. Voldemort was warned that making too many horcruxes could be dangerous, and he found out just how dangerous.
when harry gets older, dumbledore explains that voldemort put a bit of himself into harry, which is how one makes a horcrux. this was obviously done by mistake, because voldemort was just as surprised as anyone else.
as for the scar, my theory is that, since harry may be the only horcrux that is actually alive, it serves as a sort of connection between voldemort and the part of his soul that's in harry. that, of course would explain harr's visions and almost psychic connection with voldemort.
in the end, i'm sorry to say, harry will of course have to sacrifice himself to make sure that voldemort doesn't come back. therefore, voldemort and harry will have to die at the same time, unless harry comes up with or somebody informs him of a major loop hole.
well, that's my theory, anyway. obviously i've had lots of time to actually think about this. let me know what you all think.

if you notice Dumbledore say harry: "When Voldemort tried to kill you, he passes to you some powers he had" but knowing Dumbledore, he can notice this powers can be for an horrocrux
i agree rasheed i think that harry is probably a horcrux and that voldermot did this when he tried to kill harry as an infant.If you notice dumbeldore is always saying the way yo take down voldermot is through love which voldermot cannot and will never understand and what else is the greatest sacrifice that love can offer than to lay down your own life for that of your friends,family and indeed even strangers in order to protect them just as harry's mother did for him.However i have also noticed that the phoenix and the idea of rebirth has played a major part throughout the series and since voldermot has to be killed last according to dumbeldore after the other horcruxes have been destroyed just maybe harry will kill himself and somehow be reborn as part of a major plan of dumbledores ,and maybe when he is reborn he might be seething with new and increased power which will ultimately destroy voldermot for ever.I hope that harry will still be alive after the final confrontation.The only other possible place i can see the last horcrux being is in snape as this might explain how sometimes in book 6 he seems to be almost demonic in expression seething with hate and sometimes not also he has always triggered of harry's scar which could be a sign but i still think this is unlikely and we are going to find out that snape is really been on the side of the good guys all along.
but didnt Dumbledore state that making a living organism a horcrux is unwise and dangerous (or something along those lines) and as a horcrux is a part of someones soul then Harry not only has his own soul but also a piece of Voldemorts? i think its very unlikely i mean when Quirrel shared his soul with Voldemort he had part of Voldemort sticking out the back of his head and was able to listen to his thoughts, and most importantly Harry is the epitome of love whilst Voldemort is the epitome of hate, in OotP Voldemort was unable to possess in ANY form Harry so the idea of sharing his soul - in my humble opinion is impossible.
From a interview that JK gave to Owen on Sunday 18th July she said i quote "Ravenclaw will have their day (taps the side of her nose) if you know what i mean - but of course you dont" i think the missing horcrux is one from Ravenclaw
Could it be possible that one of the school ghosts is a horcrux? Its a bit far fetched but it could be peeves. Isnt the bloody baron (slytherins ghost meaning that Voldemort respects him) and Dumbledore (the only person Voldemort ever feared) the only people that Peeves ever listened to. I know it sounds very far fetched but this means that a part of Voldemort can rome freely around Hogwarts, collecting information maybe.

Any one remembers the time when Moody shows Harry that photo of the old Order? He mentions someone by the name of Dorcas Meadows, and states she was killed personally by Voldy himself.... doesnt that mean, he killed someone personally, so that person must have been important, and according to Dumbledore, Voldy commits an imp murder, and follows that with a horcrux creation! So, can it be he created a horcrux then??
good thinking! but jk says the horcrux HAS to be something of gryffindors or ravenclaws... it could still be voldemorts trophy... what if it was gryffindors before... but dumbledore says the only relic of gryffindors is the sword.
Harry could be a horcrux as voldemort only wanted to kill Harry an James Potter because they where direct descendants of Godric Gryffindor... maybe this was why Lily Evans suddenly liked him? Voldemort did not try to kill Lily so this could be true. I think that harry MIGHT be a horcrux because he is a direct descendant of Godric Gryffindor.
I think that the triwizard trophy would be a good idea but how would Voldemort get hold of it? I think if anything from the triwizard tornament is a horcrux it would be the goblet of fire. If the triwizard tornament was on while Voldemort was at school he would have had easy access to it!
Post any thoughts please...
I haven't read the entire thread, so if this comes up, I apologize, however. The main argument AGAINST harry being a horcrux is "Voldemort has been trying to kill him this entire time!"
I don't really see that as much of an arugment. After all, there have already been a couple of Horcruxes destroyed, and it hasn't seemed to weaken Voldemort at all. I, for one, believe Voldemort would be more than willing to sacrifice a seventh of his soul so that NO ONE would ever be able to harm him. Harry is the only one that can stop Voldemort, even if Voldemort has to lose part of his soul....creating a horcrux out of harry is the smartest thing he could do.
No matter how many are destroyed, Harry would have to Sacrifice himself at the very same moment that he takes out Voldemort in book 7. It makes perfect sense for both Voldemort's mind AND J.K. Rowling. If Harry dies, there can't be any more books about him. 🙂.
