now Kathrin:

Considering that you have to kill someone in order to create a Horcrux
and it being Dark Magic:

(all quotes UK edition (Bloomsbury) hardback, Chapter 23 'Horcruxes',
page 464-465)

"No... well... you'd be hard-pushed to find a book at Hogwarts that'll
give you details on Horcruxes, Tom. That's very Dark stuff, very Dark
indeed," said Slughorn.

and 

"But how do you do it?"
"By an act of evil - the supreme act of evil. By committing murder.
Killing rips the soul apart. The wizard intent upon creating a Horcrux
would use damage to his advantage: he would encase the torn portion -"

To be honest, I just don't see DD as the killer type of person. He is
the last person ever I could imagine killing someone. Proof me wrong,
if you know it better :-) (I seem to have no recollection whatsoever
when it comes to OotP, as I realized earlier today :-( )
