I think that whoever had AK'd Harry would have killed him and all that was in him. I agree with you, LW, that if Harry were killed by anyone by any means the soul piece would be destroyed. I should have made it clear that I meant it had to be LV's AK for Harry to survive the destruction of the soul piece. But since Lily's protection in Voldemort's blood acted like a horcrux, would Harry not have survived any murder attempt as long as Voldemort lived? Or is this something DD didn't dare gamble upon, because it was something unknown in the wizarding world? Perhaps DD thought that it would be better if Voldemort would cast the killing curse, because the magic of Lily's protection in both Harry's and Voldie's blood could run through the light of the curse, like electricity through a wire or a lightning bolt? The elder wand couldn't have anything to do with it yet because DD still had it and he planned to make it powerless.
Hi cully
I think it had to be LV to be the one to rid Harry of the piece of his soul and allow Harry to survive. Lilly's sacrifice didn't act like a horcrux. It merely provided Harry protection from LV. Remember Quirrel couldn't touch Harry at the end of book one while being possessed by LV. But during Harry's first trip to Diagon Alley with Hagrid Quirrel shook Harry's hand in the Leaky Cauldron. Lilly's protection was only active in Quirrel while he was possessed by LV. Before being posessessed Quirrel could have hammered Harry and not been phased. Anyone but LV could have killed Harry while Lilly's protection was active. Lilly's sacrifice protected Harry from LV only, not from everyone. At least that's my interpretation.
