As far as I know, a horecruxe is a portion of your soul tied to an object, your soul is not actually in the object. V still has his soul, he's just anchored it to objects in the world so that his soul doesn't move on when he dies. In the end I have a feeling harry won't actually kill V, he'll trap him in some way with the last horecrux.
And I think I've said this in another thread, but I don't think Harry can be a horecrux, it specifically says that living things can't be, nor would most of the books make any sense if he was...
