How Did Harry Potter Become Lord Voldemort’s Horcrux?
Harry Potter became a pseudo-Horcrux of Lord Voldemort, meaning Lord Voldemort had no intention of making him a Horcrux. Due to this accident, he inherited the skill of speaking Parseltongue and is mentally connected to the Dark Lord. It was the love of his mother, Lily Potter that protected Harry from Voldemort’s attack. Love: something The Dark Lord was never lucky enough to experience.
Harry Potter became a Horcrux when the love from his mother protected him from Lord Voldemort’s curse. Instead of killing Harry the curse backfired and destroyed Voldemort’s body and all his power. In the course of this battle, Voldemort accidentally gave part of his powers to baby Harry as well as a piece of his soul leaving Harry with a lightning-shaped scar which created a telepathic link between Voldemort and himself.
In their final battle, Voldemort attempted to kill Harry but instead ended up killing Horcrux inside of Harry. Harry did not die at this time because his blood contained a bond anchoring him to life and protecting him from Voldemort.
