As we know from the books, it wasn't the Horcrux but a curse on the ring
(removed by Snape) that blackened DD's hand, and he put it on not because it
was a Horcrux (which would have been stupid in the extreme) but because it
was a Hallow, as we find out in DH (more reason why we need "the Prince's
Tale"!). Obviously, the film can't reveal that information, but I don't
think it even indicated that the stone in the ring was broken or that Snape
played any part in saving DD from the curse. In fact, IIRC, the curse on the
ring wasn't mentioned at all (and the blackened hand very underplayed).

The ring is a Hallow and a horcrux, and DD does say in the film that it's to
down and he knows where a third one is. I didn't take notes, so I can't tell
you exactly how it transpires, but right before the tower scene with Snape
and DD, before the cave, they are in DD's office, he does both say the rings
a horcrux and holds up his hand as to say that destroying it did that to
him.

I still think your hopes for "the princes tale" are in vain. They will
simply use the Rosetta Stone (Her-my-oh-ninny) or some other vessel to
explain things. I don't believe for a second that during the films film act
they are going to take a loooooooooooooooooooooooong break to show all those
memories, at least, I have serious doubts.

However!!! I think a better device would be to open the film with the Snape
- Lilly flashbacks, cut to Snape present collecting the memories out of the
pensive and putting them in a vile. Then, latter, at the end he can hand the
vile, plus the DD memory to Harry and we don't have to watch all the
memories at one point, plus, I think it would be an excellent, dramatic way
to start the film.
