Why Didn't Voldemort Realize Harry Was a Horcrux? - Harry Potter Theory

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we're discussing how it's possible that Voldemort didn't realize he'd made Harry into one of his Horcruxes.

Horcruxes are, of course, one of the darkest bits of magic known to the wider wizarding world. In fact, they are considered to be so dark and dangerous that teaching on the subject has been banned at Hogwarts for years, with even the Restricted Section of the Library barely acknowledging their existence...

But from what we know, a Horcrux is made by murdering an innocent victim without regret. This horrendous act allows the killer to rip a piece of their soul from their body and place it into an inanimate object or living host. The theory is that if the killer were to die themselves, the Horcrux would survive, rendering that person immortal. However, the actual ritual of creating a Horcrux is rather unknown.
