Horcruxes: Groundrules and Theories

 Coming out of lurkdom, for my first post since HPB came out. As there
are many post on this topic, I'm just going to post my thoughts.

As I see it  most of the Horcruxes were created when he was known
primarily as Tom Marvolo Riddle, so I think in looking for locations,
we have to look at places of signicance to his younger days.


Here's the order in which I think the horcruxes were created:

The Diary, while he was still at Hogwarts, one of the Riddle's deaths,
let's say it was Tom Sr.

The Ring, while he was at Hogwarts, another of the Riddle deaths, Grandma Riddle
.
The mystery item of Ravenclaw or Gryfindor, I think this one was also
created before he left Hogwarts and is still there, perhaps in the
Chamber of Secrets or the Room of Requirment (remember all that stuff
Harry found when looking for a place to hide his text book), another
Riddle Death, Grandpa Riddle.  I'm almost certain that this one is at
Hogwarts, as he tried on at least two occasions to return there after
he had left school.

We know that these three murders occured before he had finished
school, remember the pensive scene in Slughorn's office, he was
wearing the ring.

Slytherin's locket, possible at 12 Grimmald Place or perhaps Mundungus
has it, Hezphib Smith's death (lady from whom he stole the locket)
RAB? Regulas Black now known as Stubby Boardman perhaps?

Hufflepuff's Cup, The Riddle House, a place significant enough for him
to have return there at least 3 times (once to murder his father's
family, where he killed Frank Bryce, and the location that Harry was
taken too for Voldy's "rebirth")
Not sure who's death, but I suspect it was James Potter and this is
why Lily did not have to die, but James did.  (of course, I could just
be blowing smoke as usual here)

Nagani, with Voldy, where ever he may be right now, Frank Bryce's death.
"Divided, but in essence one"


Is Harry a horcrux, I'd have to say no.  I don't believe he would have
had time to
perform what must be a very complex bit of magic. And at the end of
OOtP, Voldy was unable to stand being inside of Harry. And well, I
just don't think he be trying so hard to kill him if he was a horcrux.

Oh and one more thought, about that advanced potions book, can't
remember seeing this suggested but perhaps the notes were Snape's (in
as we know his mother's old book)  but perhaps he was getting those
notes from Lily.  Why Slughorn keeps on about how great she was at
potions. And we know she was good at charms as well, so maybe she
invented those spells.
