Nagini comes after Harry, created by the murder of Bertha Jorkins. But this has always confused me too because it means that Voldemort murdered Bertha and made Nagini into his final horcrux while in his spectral state (since Bertha is referenced as missing during GoF and Voldemort doesn't get his body back until the end of that book). How does one with no body and only a fraction of the soul AK someone? IDK man, IDK.
I saw a pie chart of the amount of Voldemort's soul that was put into each of the horcruxes once. The diary was 50% voldy, but by the time we get to Harry its something like, less than 2%. That's very little soul and it's in contention with Harry's own soul, so I think its reasonable that it wouldn't be able to take over. But it still "manifests" itself in noticeable ways: the mental connection between Harry and Voldemort, the sorting hat reading Harry as good fit for Slytherin, Harry's ability to speak parseltongue, etc.
