These chapters (43-46) seem to have several pieces of evidence for the "Harrymort" theory.

I just thought of another from an earlier chapter.

AND THE DARK LORD WILL MARK HIM AS HIS EQUAL

Equal, as in mathematical equality.

Also, from Ch. 45: "A strange word kept echoing in his mind." Probably 'horcrux'. [ETA: gjm's right. Missed that.]

I thought the strange word was "riddle".

Harry glanced in the Dementor's direction. The word echoed in his mind again. All right, Harry thought to himself, if the Dementor is a riddle, what is the answer?

I get it now. *foreheadsmack*

Not that that doesn't equally support the Harrymort theory.

If anything, that supports their theory.

Somewhat later in HPMOR, Dumbledore does (obliquely) indicate that Voldemort = Tom Riddle. (Or at least he indicates that he believes this. There's enough identity-confusion in HPMOR that I don't think we can be entirely certain that he's right.)
