Is Harry a Horcrux?

[rogueravenclaw]

A friend of mine at school brought this theory to my attention. Could Harry possibly be one of the seven horcruxes? I belive so. Think about it: Harry is a parseltongue, Harry can feel what Voldemort is feeling (dispelling Dumbledore's thought that the 7 souls are not connected), the prophecy's amibiguous wording, and Harry's scar.

hehe. I don't mind! *smiles*
Anyways, thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Someone has pointed that locket out to me, and that does make sense that it would be the very same locket. As far as the other horcruxes, I doubt that we know about it. Perhaps if we read through the entire series again souly to find the horcruxes we'd find something, but it seems somewhat unlikely. Of course, if Voldemort's orginal piece of soul was destroyed the night he killed Harry and it was not made into a horcrux, then that is one less to figure out. I think an even greater question is where? She's probably left clues throughout the books (random places Harry has been, for instance, that really serve no purpose otherwise). Like in HBP, when Harry hid the book, am I the only one that thought it was weird that he hide it in the Room of Req? Then Harry turned out to need that knowledge. My point is, that Harry has probably been to all of the places he hid them. Perhaps he hid one at Godric's Hollow, where he was defeated? But what would he hide there that would be inconspicuous? If this were the case, it would suggest that it was something of his parents, but who knows what that could be. *shrugs*
If you don't read Oedipus on your own, you'll probably have to read it in class, lol. And Oedipus does not widow his mother, his mother widows him. His mother hangs herself. Then Oedipus figures out that he was living the prophecy he tried to avoid and pokes his eyes out and imposes a voluntary banishment on himself (of course, he had made a vow to kill the man who killed the old king, which happened to be him. Apparently he gets special treatment *shrugs*). This doesn't necessarily mean Ginny is going to die and Harry is going to poke his eyes out. This could happen on some sort of symbolic level, however. Perhaps Ginny will die for the greater good, or she will simply make some sort of sacrifice to undo the damage of the prophecy. Harry may simply see the truth of it (that is what the act of poking his eyes out symbolizes). Well, now that I have thoroughly bored you, I'll leave you to your own thoughts, lol.

oh! I read Antigone, but that's all we had to do. I didn't know it was part of a trilogy! we skipped a lot in that class...we ended with analyzing Moby Dick that year. ick!

hehe. I never read Antigone. To take AP Lit at my school, we had to skip 10th grade LA, which is the class in which we read Antigone. I heard it's good though; my friends who read it liked it. I might just sit down and read it on my own. It isn't very long I don't think, is it? *shrugs* And I only ever read the illustrated classics version of Moby Dick in the 5th grade or something like that, and I think I saw the movie version several times, lol. Didn't get to analyze it though, perhaps this year. Charles Dickens sounds like a fun guy though, from what I've heard. *smiles*

he he he. I did honors the whole way through high school...We touched on Antigone my freshman year, I think...then we read the evil Moby Dick by Herman Melvile. Oddly enough, the only Charles Dickens book I didn't like we read right before MD. Great Expectations. blah. Tale of Two Cities, Oliver Twist, or even David Copperfield (still working on the thousand page, tiny-print book between other novels). s'what I get for not starting with an abridged version. We didn't read too many books in our AP class. it was mostly English plays and studying for the exam. paid off though...I passed. :)

Jacosta and Antigone (Oedipus' and Jacosta's daughter) both hang themselves. what a weird thing to run in the family.

*slaps forehead* Where did I come up with Charles Dickins writing Moby Dick? Hmm... He wrote a lot of stuff with the ocean in it, that's probably why (I read illustrated classics versions of him when I was in the 5th grade). Anyways, so they hang themselves? That's odd. Well, not really. It's actually quite predictable since that is what Mama Jacosta did. I don't think there are any equivalents of them in HP, or at least none I can think of at the moment... Perhaps Luna? But that is stretching it A LOT.
