Horcrux (Something of Ravenclaws/Gryffindor)

[deepam]

No: HPFGUIDX 134474

Going over the part 3 of the interview JK gave to mugglenet.com
and the leaky cauldron (she gave a hint that it is possible
to find at least one horcrux), and re-reading the last few chapters,
I have a theory regarding the horcrux:

1. Dumbledore is the last heir of Gryffindor.
2. The potion in the green basin inside the cave was THE horcrux.
3. The drinker will not die, he will become possessed by the piece of
    soul of Voldemort in there.
4. Hence the potion does not "kill", as dumbledore points out to
Harry.
5. Dumbledore's reaction while drinking the potion would be natural
   as Voldemort's memories and actions become clearer the more of 
   the potion he drank. His final words on drinking the last of the
   potion "KILL ME!" shows how horrified he was to be sharing his
   body with such a soul.
6. So Snape killing Dumbledore (a pre-planned event most likely)
really
   kills the Horcrux. Dumbledore dies too, but he will be leaving 
   enough hints and help around for Harry to manage in Book 7.
7. Somehow, Dumbledore trusts only Snape with the story about
Horcruxes. Not even McGonagall and other Order members seem to know
   about this. Also Snape does not ever (and never has) physically
   injured Harry, however much he may hate him. This tells us that
   he will continue to "protect" Harry till his purpose is fulfilled.

Comments anyone?
