Saraquel:
Being alerted to the fact that the horcrux has gone is a problem.  
But in my original, original post, which the above quote was snipped 
from, I speculate that both veritaserum *and* Draft of Living Death 
are in the potion.  Hence, if Valky does regular checks on his 
horcruxes, (which who knows, could be a reason for someone to know 
about the cave, having followed him - but how you follow someone who 
presumably is apparating I don't know! Problem still not solved :-)) 
then he would find a body in suspended animation lying on the ground 
next to the potion.  If that person was alone, they would never have 
got to the end of the potion, and presumably not tried to get the 
water.  However, the problem with this is that, when DD is revived, 
he is no longer experiencing whatever he is experiencing.  So if 
Voldemort revived the sleeping beauty, he would have missed the 
action.  Round in circles -

Saraquel:
Transfigured!Horcrux anyone - OK, but I'm rather fond of that theory 
now :-)
