>LV: Here, Bella, I'll leave this locket at your Uncle's house, just 
pop it down the cave for me, there's a dear?
(Bella at Spinner's End: The Dark Lord has, in the past, entrusted 
me with his most precious...)

CathyD:
Bella (and other DEs) only *think* they are favourites of the Dark Lord.  Dumbledore's "he shows just as little mercy to his followers as his enemiers" and other remarks, in HBP, about LV working alone, and that his followers are mistaken when they believe they are in his conficence, show that.  

I don't believe for one second, that a man - for lack of a better word - like LV, who truly trusts no one (the most skilled Legillimens) would have allowed any one of his followers to place one of the Horcruxes anywhere.  Even not knowing what they were, they would know they were hiding something important for the DL and, in LV's mind, that person would then have to die or he would run the risk of them telling someone else (oh, see what Voldie asked me to do!).  Easy enough to kill one person, but how do you ever find out how far the information has spread?  We already know that the DEs are not trustworthy.  They are discussing, in Spinner's End, something that was *not* to be talked about.
