It seems like that's a questionable assumption that Harry would be eager to test, once he found out about Horcruxes. For example, can you cast a Horcrux on the power of, say, Avada Kedavra-ing a nonmagical nonhuman creature? If not, how about a magical creature?
What if you could create a low-quality backup that way? Wouldn't it still be better than nothing?
OTOH if true it does provide some evidence for Dumbledore's belief that souls are real things distinct from the body they work on.
