When I first read RAB's note, I misread the initials and thought 
Dumbledore had written it, saying that he found the REAL Horcrux.  I 
thought that he meant the REAL Horcrux was the potion, not the 
locket.  I though to myself, "Oh, how clever of her to write it that 
way, of COURSE Dumbeldore had to die, he drank the potion!"  Then 
about 5 pages later, I went back and reread the note and ended up 
confused again.  :)  But I liked the idea of Potion=Horcrux up till 
then.
