A Horcrux in each book

No: HPFGUIDX 143989

Again, I like this theory and I'm beginning to have
more faith in it;
dispite my initial gut reaction.

Radasgat:
This is interesting indeed. For book one my husband
and I immediatly
latched on to Either Sirius' motorcycle (could it have
been purchased
used from a DE?) OR the wand in Olivander's front
window. The wand
sits on a purple cloth; not the color of any house. (I
don't think)


But this leads us to another possiblity at the
beginning (and
throughout the PS), could Quirrel be the product of a
horcurx? 

What do we know about Quirrel:
1. He seems to have been teaching at Hogwarts for more
than a year
because they make the comment, "Snape's been after his
job for years"
even though in later books it is suggested that no one
has held the
DADA job for more than a year. Perhaps Quirell used to
teach some
other subject.

2. He was studying something in the field when he went
abroad and met
LV in the "Black Forest" and became possesed.

3. He becomes more and more possesed as the book goes
on

4. He is defeated in the end

Ok.. What if Quirrel came across a horcrux on his
travels (perhaps
something of Ravenclaw's) and became possesed by it
(like Ginny was in
CoS) and was in the last stages of it taking over
Quirrel's body when
the last scene in PS occurs.

Still quite confused about what could be the horcrux
in PoA. could it
be something in the Leaky Cauldron? On the Night Bus?
What about
Percy's Head Boy badge (didn't the twins keep
bewitching it to make it
say 'Dork Boy" or something) Was this badge once
Riddle's?
