Despite the lack of hats, I think it must be Dobby. I think one thing that has been foreshadowed is that HWMNBN's downfall will come from cooperation between Wizards, Wtiches and other magical beings -- house elves, centaurs and goblins -- and will result in something of a re-ordering with better relations.

Does anyone recall JKR saying that Harry was NOT a Horcrux?

I don't, and it would surprise me if she explicitly said so, since that would be giving away a plot point for Book 7. But I think she has already told us that he is not in Book 4.
