The healthy state of Harry Potter's soul kept Voldemort from trying to possess him after the attempt at the Ministry of Magic, because it was too painful for Voldemort's tortured maimed soul to share a body with Harry's complete soul, as Dumbledore explained to Snape in a Pensieve memory. This might be inapplicable to a non-sentient soul fragment used for Horcrux purposes such as Nagini, who showed no side effects from housing her master's soul and even possessed a powerful psychic bond with him. Ī single body usually couldn't host more than one sentient soul without taking a heavy toll, as many animal hosts to Voldemort's fragmented soul had their lifespan drastically reduced, and Quirinus Quirrell, the only known human host, had to drink Unicorn blood to sustain his own body's ailing health. A damaged soul would be trapped in Limbo forever. However the soul had to be undamaged to achieve either. Įven when the human body died, the soul would continue to exist, able to either move on beyond the Veil to the afterlife or return as a ghost. It was supposed to remain intact and unharmed, as ripping it was considered a violation of the laws of nature. It served as the memory, awareness, and individuality mindset. The soul was the sense of self of the individual, residing inside the materialistic body.
