Okay, take this for what it's worth, supposedly Harry can't Spoiler: be a horcrux, because he would have to kill Harry to retrieve it, and once Harry is dead, it would be gone forever. Only objects can be horcruxes. Dumbledore explained this to Harry. . And you Spoiler: don't need to feel hatred to kill somebody with avada kedavera, your "karate" just has to be stronger than theirs. At any rate, Dumbledore showed up in his portrait, so he's dead.
The thing I've never gotten, portraits talk. The portraits that hang in Dumbledore's office all offer advice, unsolicited or not. They show emotion. So, why haven't Harry's parent's ever talked to him? Other pictures do.
