If a horcrux can be destroyed by basilisk venom and (spoiler alert!) harry IS a horcrux, AND he got stabbed in the chamber of secrects, shouldn't the horcux inside him of been destroyed then? I suppose a horcrux can only get destroyed if its body is destroyed (and that can only happen by basilisk venom) and Harry WASN"T destroyed, that could make sense (because Harry was healed (by phoenix tears)) but it's still confusing! Espicially since a living ting can be desroyed by many things BESIDES basilsk venom, so that would cancel that rule! :shock: :? Any thoughts? :what:
The body in which a horcrux is being kept has to be destroyed for the horcrux to be destroyed. Also, to quote Harry Potter wiki:
Harry Potter was not destroyed as a Horcrux in the Chamber of Secrets because Fawkes' tears saved him and hence the "receptacle" (Harry) was not then destroyed beyond repair.
