Kingsley said he might have killed one, technically...
As I recently realized, Harry should have had his soul split by killing the Diary Horcrux. No dancing around with rebounds or "Well, Quirrel died when Voldemort fled the body" there. He stabbed the thing and watched it die. And, logically, by now, Voldemort should have a smaller sliver of soul in him than did the diary. In other words, if actually killing Voldemort himself was enough of a concern for JKR that she had him rebound the SAME BLOODY SPELL AGAIN... Harry's soul got split at twelve by dint of killing the Diary. Hooray for JKR logic!
