There is no proof that the diary can't interact without the piece 
of soul imprisioned inside it. The Mauraduers Map can interact 
with the reader and there isn't a soul within it. I'm sure there 
is a magical way for a diary to interact, especially with 
Voldemort's magic. If the Mauraduers could do it, I'm sure 
Voldemort could. The Diary is only proof of Voldemort's direct 
line to Slytherin.

Remember that before HPB, Dumbledore suspected, but didn't know 
about Voldemort using Horcruxes. AND in HPB Dumbledore was wrong 
about the Horcrux at the cave, because it was a fake. Dumbledore 
is fallible as we can see here. Horcruxes are not to be detected 
by others I believe, if they were easily detectable, then there wouldn't be a point of making them. Even if Dumbedore did detect 
a Horcrux inside the Mirror, he would have to destroy it, then 
what's to protect the stone? Also sometimes, the most obvious 
anwswer (If Dumbledore did suspect the mirror) is overlooked as 
too easy. Why? Because the mirror seemed to be available to the school. It was placed in an empty room, where pretty much 
everyone could get to it. Perhaps Dumbledore is not strong 
enough to destroy the mirror in the first place, perhaps because 
the mirror shows him a desire that is still achievable. Dumbledore 
may not have the will, but the mirror shows Harry something that 
is only a dream. Harry's parents are dead and therefore Harry 
should be able to find the strength to destroy it. 

I still stand by the fact, that since the mirror shows Voldemort 
as all powerful, that it would be ironic/reasonalbe (haha) that 
Voldemort would use it to hide his Horcrux. What better place to 
hide a Horcrux than something that shows him as all powerful? 
There seems to be an element of superstition on using that mirror 
to make the image he sees a reality. 

Keep 'em comin ;)
