If Harry Potter was the 7th horcrux why didnt he die?
Voldemort tried to kill him using the Elder's Wand which saw Harry as it's master, so it refused to harm Harry (this is suggested when after Harry returned and Voldemort used Crucio on him and he didn't feel any pain, as well as during the final battle when Voldemort's spell rebounded and killed him instead of Harry). So when Harry died, he may have only died because the part of Voldemort's soul did (as the Elder's Wand wouldn't view it as it's master), so the killing curse may not have actually kill him but still affected him because both Harry's and Voldemort's souls were connected. It is mentioned though that Harry had the choice of whether or not to come back. When Harry did come back, Voldemort's soul didn't come back with him, so he wasn't a Horcrux anymore.
