Claudia:
This idea never occurred to me because I got the impression that there 
was too little left of the "original" Voldemort to create another 
horcrux. I have no canon to support this, I think my impression comes 
from the descriptions of Voldemort as looking very inhuman and 
snakelike after his return.
