In regard as to where Harry's adventures to find the Horcruxes might 
take him, I've always wondered about the Weasley's trip to Eygpt.  
In Eygptian mythology, "Horus" was the son of Ra, the sun god, and 
Horus avenged his father's death (Ra was murderd by his brother, Set)
which typically is interpreted as the triumph of good over evil.

Bill, being a top-notch curse breaker, may have learned a thing or 
two there which might come in handy for Harry. Ron was certainly 
impressed by the ancient magic. I'm doubt there's a horcrux in 
Eygpt, but I think the trio will either travel there to learn 
something or the information Bill learned there will be very handy 
in destroying a Horcrux that might reside in a living being (Nagini, 
Harry. The Egyptians believed in the separation of the soul from the 
body and had methods of preserving the soul in inanimate objects, 
animals, etc (wished I'd paid more attention in World History!).
