Horcrux from Grindelwald?

[Hagrid]

No: HPFGUIDX 135856

aussie:

Dang that 1945 date for the Dark Wizard Grindelwald being "defeated" 
and Tom Riddle leaving Hogwarts after already making a couple of 
Horcruxes at least.

After getting 2 of Hepzibah Smith's treasures, Riddle disappeared 
overseas and reappeared as Lord Voldemort - no more mention of 
Riddle.

Proposal: Just as baby Harry "defeated" LV making him disappeared to 
the Black Forest, Germany, Grindelwald may have sought solitude to 
regain his strength.

Instead of a book smart, but experience poor, wizard like Quirrel 
meeting him, Grindelwald met Riddle. Tom then could have furthered 
his way along the Dark path using Grindalwald, his new mentor, as 
the next victim to create a Horcrux.

* According to DD's Choclate card, Dumbledore "defeated", not 
killed, the Dark Wizard Grindelwald.
* Grindelwald was a key question in JKR's recent interview. She said 
he is now dead - although, DD may not have been the one to finish 
him off.
* That dang date of 1945 still makes me suspicious of hidden secrets.
* If Riddle went overseas and had significant experiences to change 
him into LV, then that would suggest a hiding place overseas.

We may get to see some of the locations we've heard of in previous 
books:
- Drumstrang: a Dark Arts School in Bulgaria
- Charlie's Dragon sanctuary in Romania
- Beaubatons school? - Nah, not attractive enough for Dark Wizards.

To refresh your memory, when talking of Grindelwald in the interview:

MA: You've gone very quiet.
[All laugh; JKR maniacally.]
MA: We like when you get very quiet, it means —
ES: You're clearly hiding something.
