It would explain why Voldy didn't die when the Aveda Kadavera backfired, and if Dumbledore had the slightest inkling that Harry might be a horcrux, he would have known that he wouldn't be able to destroy Voldy merely by killing the body he was in, if his soul was in several different places. And what if Voldy keeps trying to kill Harry because he doesn't know that Harry is part of him?

I thought it has been answered that the reason he didn't die was because he already had made several horcruxes before he attacked the Potters.
I think V kinda said something like that at the end of GOF. He pointed out that the spell SHOULD have killed him, but since it didn't, he knew that at least some of the steps he had taken toward immortality had worked.
