Why does every discussion eventually turn into a political debate?


Because nobody wants to admit that they were wrong about Harry being a Horcrux!

He was. Unless you use a strict do or die definition. and that's
stupid. Besides, it says he's one in the books. I can't abide by JK
changing it after the fact based on a technicality.


YOU were the one who said you cannot always take what Dumbledore says as truth - when we were trying to identify the six horcruxes. Now - he says something he cannot possibly really know because he was not there - no one else was. I also note that Dumbledore also said that Harry would have to DIE to get rid of the Horcrux - something Harry did not do. He may have come close - but he did not die. As JKR said - death is permanent - so Harry should not have been able to return. So - dumbledore was clearly wrong on this one.

So - If we ignore what Dumbledore said (You called it speculation)- there is nothing in the books to back up that Harry was a Horcrux.

In fact - it actually goes against the idea of Voldemort splitting his soul into 7 pieces(Something He himself said) - it would be eight. I take note that Harry also had no obvious spells that protected the soul bit in him - something that all the other true horcruxes had.

There is no reason why a soul bit could have been "lodged" into harry without him becoming a Horcrux.
