Dumbledore said the diary was "also intended to be a weapon" to let 
loose the Basilisk, but we don't know that about any of the other 
Horcruxes.  It could be true, though.

I agree.  However, Dumbledore does tell Harry that Voldemort was 
very angry that the diary was destroyed - my guess is after he 
was "resurrected" in GoF he asked Lucius about the diary and got an 
answer he did NOT want to hear.  That's why I'm wondering if he'll 
see the need to make another Horcrux, to bring the total to 7 
again.

Good point.  I'm even more interested in how Regulus (if it was him) 
stole the real locket and put a fake in that basin, under all the 
potion!  That's going to need some explaining.  Voldemort wouldn't 
have placed a fake in the basin - he'd have known it was fake right 
away, since it didn't even look the same - so it had to be stolen 
later.

UNLESS ... Severus made the potion in the basin and placed the 
Horcrux there for his master?  But then he could have told 
Dumbledore all about it, instead of AD having to do all the research 
to find it, so - no.

Very scary!  ("Kid Voldemort" - sounds like a regular on the 
wrestling programs!!  Hee.)  :D
