"Does Voldemort know when a Horcrux is destroyed, sir? Can he feel
it?" Harry asked, ignoring the portraits.

"A very interesting question, Harry. I believe not. I believe that
Valdemort is now so immersed in evil and these crucial parts of
himself have been detached for so long, he does not feel as we do.
Perhaps, at the point of death, he might be aware of his loss...but he
was not aware, for instance, that the diary had been destroyed until
he forced the truth out of Lucius Malfoy." (HBP, AE, p. 507-508)

vmonte again:
I think that the cave horcrux is safe guarded in a different way from 
the rest of the horcruxes. There would be no point in Dumbledore 
mentioning that Voldemort would want to know who was responsible and 
how they penetrated the cave if this information could not travel 
back to Voldemort!(?)

When the locket is discovered by Harry and destroyed, Voldemort will 
somehow know--JMO. (By the way, this will probably be the last item 
to be found and destroyed by Harry--except for his scar horcrux.)

Also, I think that now that Ron and Hermione know about what is going 
on they will both figure out some key facts. The real reason why JKR 
didn't let Hermione and Ron in on the prophecy and other key 
information (like Snape's Worst Memory) is because they will use 
these pieces of info to figure out some key things about Snape.

Snape's Worst Memory
Super smart Snape takes an exam in which question 10 is about 
werewolfs and he doesn't automatically realize that Lupin fits the 
description? Even after wondering where Lupin was going every month? 
Come on. Even Hermione figures this out when Snape gives the same 
essay as homework to Lupin's class.

Harry will show Hermione and Ron his memories of what happened in the 
cave, on the tower, the prophecy memory, and of Snape's Worst Memory. 
Hermione will then figure out what Snape is all about.

Sorry, but I really think that JKR is setting Hermione up to out 
smart Snape. Hermione was able to figure out Snape's potion puzzle in 
SS/PS because it was a logic test, and I think she will be the one 
who will out wit him in book 7.

Ron will figure out how Dumbledore uses the penseive in his strategic 
planning and become a good strategist for the Order. 

Harry will sacrifice himself for the greater good.

"...Harry's imagination zoomed into overdrive, rapidly constructing a 
scene in which Ginny, weeping over his life-less form, confessed her 
feelings of deep attraction to him while Ron gave them his 
blessing..."

But Ginny will do something to alter this ending.
