Well, I think the repeated and explicit naming of Harry’s Dark Side as a thing within and separate from the rest of Harry is a decent reason to take for granted that Harry’s a horcrux. But then, we had decent reason to take for granted that Lucius thought Harry was Voldemort, until we learned a couple of chapters ago of the mysterious unnamed hero from the seventies.

Am I misreading you, or do you think the new information about Noble Hero is evidence against the idea that Lucius thinks Harry is Voldemort? If that’s so, could you elaborate as to why?
Yeah, eh, that statement was actually based on a major stupid error that I didn’t realize was a major stupid error until I tried to type it just now. Quirrell’s Yule speech made Amelia Bones think Quirrell was this Noble Hero; Harry’s Yule speech made Lucius Malfoy think Harry was… someone. I stupidly pattern-matched this Noble Hero into that blank, somehow forgetting the fact that the speeches involved were not the same or made by the same person and were in fact in direct opposition to one another. If I hadn’t been so coy about it I would have discovered this before embarrassing myself.

Take for granted? Maybe Harry has read some IFS stuff in with all the cognitive science, math, philosophy, modern physics, and other things that he’s read.
