Jen: The ring was cracked, but if the locket at GP is the real 
horcrux, there was no crack mentioned in OOTP. And the diary, while 
not a typical horcrux, had no crack. Maybe the ring cracked when 
the 'terrible curse' was put upon it, just as Harry received the 
scar from being touched by an evil curse? Or else when Dumbledore 
tried to remove the curse as the ring was cracked when Harry noticed 
it at Slughorn's house.

Jen: I'm not a Harry horcrux fan, seems like it would be a very 
deliberate process with certain steps and incantations said in a 
certain order. The Fidelius also involves the sealing away of 
something intangible and is said to be 'immensely complex' but we 
really have no information to go on. 

The clue about a horcrux being placed inside a living thing makes me 
think not about Harry, but how that could be used against him in 
book 7.  Now that Dumbledore is dead, Harry will be the target of 
Voldemort again (really, removing Dumbledore was the most logical 
plan LV has had in 6 books <g>). Today I put on my evil overlord hat 
and thought, what would be the best way to get to Harry? Here are 
two heinous options...bwahahaha!:

1) Kidnap someone close to Harry and threaten to make that person 
into a horcrux. Hate to say it but Ron the sacrificial knight might 
be a good bet.

2) Voldemort discovers Harry's hatred for Snape, LV decides it's 
time to punish Snape and makes *him* into a horcrux. He's hoping to 
tempt Harry to take a step toward evil ways and try to kill Snape, 
but of course he overlooks the fact that Harry's love protects him 
from Voldemort's temptation.

Those were the only two I could think of. Anyone else want to be 
evil overlord for the day?

Jen, who doesn't really want to see either of these options take 
place, but keeps thinking of JKR's dire predictions about Harry 
facing many difficult choices.
