Do you remember how, when Voldemort killed Lily, a piece of his soul broke apart and went into baby Harry, making him a Horcrux!?

I got the impression that the gnarled, beastly little thing at King's Cross Station was that piece of Voldemort's soul!. Dumbledore and Harry couldn't help it because it was so destroyed; torn apart from the whole soul for evil magic!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

After all of the soul-splitting the Voldemort has done what's left of his is a tormented, tiny, fragment of what it should be!. When he finally "dies" it is this form that he will be left in because, really, that's all that's left!. It repulses Harry and Dumbledore because they cannot comprehend properly the acts and their motives that lead Voldemort to this low and powerless state!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Dumbledore explains that the ugly crying "baby" is the part of Voldemort's soul in Harry!. The horcrux!. Remember in the fourth book, whenever they described Voldemort's form *before he got his body back* it was described as an ugly baby thing too!?

He could not be helped because when you tear your soul to pieces you destroy it!. His soul was beyound detroyed and that is basically what it was!. Everybody there was basically in their soul "form" as they were at the crossings to the afterlifeWww@QuestionHome@Com

It's the part of Riddle's soul that was kept alive through Harry, his Horcrux, if you will!.
They could not "help" it because Riddle was so far down the path of evil!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
