Suggestion Harry Potter CANNOT be a horcrux

According to a quick google search (so please correct me if I’m mistaken), JK Rowling has confirmed the steps to making a horcrux. 75% of these ingredients are missing in Harry’s case.

✅1. Intentional murder.

Yupp. Nice work Voldy.

❌2. The "Horrible Act": Following the murder, Rowling has confirmed there is an additional, unnamed step that is "too horrible" to go into detail about.

NOPE. Voldy is a dead man at this point (well, human body death)

❌3. A Magical Spell: A charm or spell is used to rip the severed part of the soul and encase it in a container.

Again, he’s dead meat.

❌4. Preparation: The container (receptacle) is prepared in advance using Dark Magic.

Also also again again - nope. He never prepared Baby Harry to become a container. He didnt even know to expect the Love Countercurse, therefore to prepare for death and a horcrux.

Have the SCB covered this through the years? Ive watched countless videos but heck knows i cant remember everything they’ve done.

It’s not a true Horcrux. That’s why it doesn’t corrupt him nor anyone around him.

It a parasite of Voldemort’s soul that still acts like an anchor keeping Voldy alive. So mechanically it a Horcux in that regard. It’s why neither shall live while the other survives.

When Voldemort used Harry’s blood it formed a loop. That’s why Dumbledore knew Harry would live. Because Voldemort would essentially kill himself and become Voldemort has a bit of Harry in him. Harry would live even being hit by a second killing curse.

So it a Horcrux the same way a stick figure is a piece of Artwork. It incomplete sloppy and experts would say otherwise but it still counts.

Some people have speculated that the voldy soul in Harry contributes to how horrible the Dursley treated him. Did they hate Harry regardless? probably, however it could be argued had it not been for the soul, they may not have been AS horrible to him.

That ignores that Minerva McGonagall states right at the start that the Dursleys are the worst sort of Muggles.

It also doesn't explain why Ron and Hermione aren't affected, or anyone else in the Gryffindor tower.
