The Horcrux At Godric's Hollow

Hi,
Long time reader, first time poster....

I've been frantically trying to keep up with the postings on this 
list......an impossible task, I fear.

I have been paying particular attention to the ones about the 
Horcruxes, as I find those the most intruiging. I have made some 
assumptions (yes, I remember the consequences of making 
ASSupmtions :D ), and a possible theory that I have yet to see 
mentioned.

My Assumptions:
>From what I remember from HBP, the creating of a Horcrux is an 
intentional act. In other words, you can do something really foul 
that will split your soul, but you won't create a Horcrux unless you 
intend to create one. To my mind, that means you have a specific 
spell/ritual that must be performed. It makes sense to me that this 
spell/ritual would need to be completed BEFORE you commit your evil 
act. In essence, it is the evil act that seals/completes the horcrux 
spell. 

My theory:
According to DD, it is possible that LV went to Godric's Hollow 
intending to create a Horcrux, using the murder(s) there to seal it. 
He's found his magical object (IMO, he has that picked out well in 
advance), he's completed the whatever ritual is necessary to make the 
object ready to receive a piece of his soul; He then journey's to 
Godric's Hollow to commit murder. IMO, it was James' murder that 
created the Horcrux. Then, when LV tried to kill Harry, the spell 
rebounded because of Lily's sacrifice, and LV's body was blasted, 
leaving his soul as an incorporeal being. The horcrux was dropped on 
the floor of the Potter's house, and there it sits among the 
wreckage, waiting for Harry to find it.......
