Seriously, if that really is the ending of the series, it would be incredibly anti-climatic at this point. Let's hope she's got something better up her sleeve.

It is generally assumed that the diary that almost brought Voldemort back while
Genny Weasley would have died was a horcrux and that that horcrux was destroyed with the tooth of the baselisk. The diary still exists as it was given back to Malfoy with Harry's sock. But, the horcrux issue was eliminated. So, the death of Harry would surely destroy the horcrux issue if Harry was a horcrux.
It actually will be interesting to see how horcruxes are inactivated. Surely, killing Voldemort's pet snake Nagini will eliminate that horcrux rather than Nagini's bones continuing to serve as a horcrux.
No, I think it is crazy to think that Harry is a horcrux because Voldemort would know it and would want to not kill him due to that eliminating a horcrux and a part of his own soul. Voldemort would want to imprison or otherwise control/contain Harry rather than trying to kill Harry. And, it still doesn't make sense due to the prophecy that indicates that Harry's death would be beneficial to Voldemort. If Harry was a horcrux, then his death would upset Voldemort the same way the destruction of the diary upset Voldemort. Every destruction of each horcrux makes Voldemort closer to mortal. Therefore, Harry's death would hurt Voldemort, not benefit him (if Harry is a horcrux).
Harry can't be a horcrux because his death is susposed to benefit Voldemort.
I could be wrong about using a horcrux to come back to life. That was just my understanding and I may have to go back and read again.
