Annemehr:
Not to be arguing for one theory or another, but don't forget that
LV's soul was a bit ragged at that point.  There were two very fresh
soul-tears from the murders of Lily and James, to start with.  Also, I
imagine LV had done more killings than he used soul-bits for Horcruxes
up to that point.

When LV's body was ripped away that night, who knows what happened to
all those shreds of soul?  Do bits from old murders sort of "adhere"
to the main part with a sort of scar?  What about the freshly torn
pieces from killing Harry's parents?

For all we know, soul-pieces may have gone flying in all directions
when the AK hit, or they may stick with the core piece unless
purposefully removed.  We have no idea.
