I had to laugh when I read THAT part of your post.  My friends think 
I'm bonkers...and they've used your exact words."Don't you think you 
spend too much time thinking about this stuff?"

Meanwhile...your post made me realize that no matter what it is that 
Voldemort 'thought' he was doing by spliting his soul into seven 
pieces, he was slowly killing himself.  With only a sliver of 
himself remaining, he would never be able to be redeemed, as with 
each split he became less and less human.  This means that even if 
Harry kills him that ... well it's almost a 'mercy' killing, which 
as I wrote that made me think of Snape and Dumbledore. Hmmm. 

So I agree that as the horcruxes are released, so is that slice of 
LVs soul destroyed, and I agree that he isn't aware when each piece 
is destroyed.  He's been detached from them for so long.  It might 
be interesting if Harry could destroy the last piece right in front 
of him, so that Voldemort understands this really is a fight to the 
death for him.  And I've said this part before and ended up berated 
for it, but somehow I think the last horcrux (with the exception of 
LV himself) to be destroyed will be the sorting hat.
