    Great, now all Harry has to do is find a friendly and cooperative dementor to help him extract the foreign soul without harming him :)

    I laughed. Not sure if it was because of the comment, or because of the name of the person who commented it xD

    This answer is missing a very crucial point that, in my view, causes it not to actually answer the question as asked, namely that Harry was not a Horcrux. The bit of Voldemort’s soul that was in Harry had just ‘latched on’; it hadn't been Horcrucified in, as it were. I agree completely that a Dementor could quite easily have sucked out the piece of Voldemort’s soul that Harry's lugging around; but that doesn't necessarily mean it could have done the same to an actual Horcrux.

  • I would also like to point out, are the two soul pieces separate while they are inside Harry? I always saw it as they were fused together in a way and the Killing Curse unfused them. So the dementors would then be sucking out the fused soul which is both Harry's and Voldemort's. If they truly are in separate pieces, whats to still stop both souls from coming out? Or whats to say the dementor sucks out Harry's soul, leaving just Voldemort's? Many things to think about :p..
