Harry destroyed the Horcrux in Riddle's Diary with the fang.  The 
fang had a particularly nasty venum which was probably a dark art 
type magic, so there was no reprecussion to Harry at the time.  
However destroying a Horcrux could be very dangerous if not done 
exactly right.  Harry tends to be very lucky when stumbling into 
unknown magic.  The diary still remained after Harry destroyed the 
Horcrux and so did the ring.  

Dumbledore's arm was a small price to pay for the destruction of the 
Horcrux, and so will the price be for the destruction of the others.  
The evidence does lean to R. Black being the one that steals the 
locket and it being at Grimwald place.  This is a good excuse for 
Harry to go to his own house.  Harry is already going to Godricks 
Hollow, is there another item there?  

The new Potions master will probably know how to destroy them with 
less self distruction, but would the mothers love protect Harry when 
he destroys the rest?  Did it protect him when he destroyed the diary?

We know the sole lives on after death acording to the books, but what 
happens when there are seven parts of a sole?  If the individual 
parts do not cross over at the same time do they die?  Thus Vultimore 
may never see the other side when he ultimately dies.  Or he may be 
rent asunder forever.  

Harry will need to present each item to LV before destroying him to 
let him know that when he dies he will be dead for sure.  He will 
only then truely be scared to die and thus actually be easier to 
kill.  

When Nearly Headless Nick tells Harry about death he says the sole is 
split between the part that moves on and the part that stays for 
those who become goasts.  Is there any similar connection with the 
Horcrux's?
