Orna:
There are many more questions there – it's not just getting in and 
out, without leaving traces – it's replacing the horcrux with a fake 
one, filling the basin with the potion (you have to drink the potion 
in order to get to the horcrux), and staying alive
Well, that part 
is less important, since RAB could have died there, and joined the 
inferi swimming in the pool

But still, I think it's improbable, that he could do it, and alone. 
DD said it was well protected, and one wizard couldn't have done it. 
So I come (back) to my (also slightly improbable – but possible 
theory) – RAB was sent by Voldemort to place the horcrux there, with 
instructions concerning the potion, etc. Voldemort would rely on his 
legilimency skills to question him afterwards, if the job had been 
done. Of course, Voldemort wouldn't tell him it was a horcrux – he 
might tell him, it was just a job for whatever reason. 

I don't know how RAB managed to lie to Voldemort, but I have an 
idea. 

 Perhaps, Voldemort planned, that whoever put the horcrux there, 
would die on the spot, thus leaving no witness to its place. RAB 
might have recognized what was going on, switched the locket before, 
and put the fake one there. Voldemort would have some way of 
knowing, if the locket was placed there – perhaps through the 
Inferi. But since DD didn't recognize, it was a fake one, I assume 
that also Voldemort, and certainly the Inferi could be fooled on 
this one. 

Or, since he was perhaps underage – he accompanied Voldemort to the 
cave for some aid – perhaps Voldemort needed some blood, bones or 
flesh (<g>) to seal the charm. And used him for a servant. Still, I 
can't imagine him switching the horcrux under Voldemort's nose.  But 
he might have learned this way, how to get there. Still, he would 
have to drink the potion and replace it. 
Perhaps, if he accompanied Voldemort, the security wouldn't work on 
him, because it would recognize him as a legitimate owner, so to 
speak. If he was underage, Voldemort would perhaps underestimate his 
powers, and therefore not being careful enough. 


Orna, puzzled, but doing her best on the horcrux hunt
