What Is a Soul?

I don't think it matters who had the sword because Harry's holding the Horcrux Wouldn't it make more sense that the Hor Crux would respond to who's holding it Not who's holding the sword That's the way I would think about it. The soul recognizes Ron as the one who is going to destroy the only thing that can protect it and then tries to turn those on him so that he doesn't have What he needs? emotionally to Destroy the only thingThat can protect it So you can almost think of it as what?
