each time he's supposed to die.  :)  There's not much canon on how 
the Horcruxes actually work, though.

Another_Potter_Fan here:
This begs the question: what happens to the soul in a horcrux when 
it is destroyed? Does it cease to exist? In CoS, it appeared that 
Tom Riddle's entity/soul was destroyed when the diary was destroyed. 
But according to your point ("as long as there IS Horcrux, Voldemort 
can't be killed"), wouldn't it stand to reason that (due to the 
existence of the other horcruxes) that his entity/soul shouldn't 
have been destroyed? Thoughts?

Again, enjoying sharing ideas - still can't get the wife to read 
OotP.
