An Immortality Defense League sounds much cleverer to me than what we actually see if Voldemort was trying to make Harry into a horcrux,
I think so too, if I do say so myself. I hadn’t thought of the IDL until this thread.
Harry as a horcrux seems like a decent idea, though. If Harry were the only guy that could kill you, making it so that he can’t kill you seems like a good idea. Also, he has a bunch of horcruxes in objects. Diversifying your strategy seems like a decent idea to me. Making one of your enemy, who everyone else will be busy protecting, enlists them in protecting your Horcrux.
Also, I just thought canon was dumb having Voldie killed because Mommy unknowingly invoked some “old magic” through her love for Harry. Anything is better than that pap.
EY seems to be rectifying that, writing a more believable plot line. First, he offers a plausible route for Voldie’s destruction through intentional ritual magic by Lily orchestrated by Dumbledore. Second, I don’t think EY will have Voldie destroyed by the unknown thing he did to Harry. I think Voldie recognized Dumbledore’s ritual magic ploy and decided to go along with it and pretend to be destroyed.

But he only has a prophecy’s word on that, and attempting to cash in on prophecies that way has a tendency to bite youon the ass (tvtropes links).
