Mil:

LV intended to have 6 horcruxes... having the 7th part of soul in 
himself...

Horcruxes:
1. Diary -- Destroyed
2. Ring -- Destroyed
3. Locket -- Taken by RAB (most probably Regulus A. Black)
4. Hufflepuff Cup -- Still missing
5. Antique once owned by Griffindor or Ravenclaw -- Most probably 
Ravenclaw's... Still missing
6. Antique once owned by Griffindor or Ravenclaw or (as some seem to 
believe) Harry himself  or (as Dumbledore guessed) Nagini -- 
Undetermined

Dumbledore believes LV was to create his 6th horcrux the night he 
intended to kill Harry, unsuccessful as it was, LV created his last 
horcrux when killing the man in the Riddle House at the beginning of 
GoF (I can't remember this poor man's name, sorry) and placing the 
last part of his soul in Nagini, leaving him (LV) with only the 7th 
part of his soul....

Hope this was helpful enough... 

BTW, has anyone yet discussed the possibility of Dumbledore being 
right about Nagini??
