I'd go as far as to say he DEFINITELY cursed or protected all of them 
somehow, and likely in very different ways.  Seems Voldiesque to show 
off his might and power that way, plus, as it's likely he didn't make 
all of the horcruxes in close proximity, time-wise, to one another, 
it's safe to say that as he learned new...ahem..."skills" throughout 
the years, he figured he'd protect his hidden horcruxes by these new 
and interesting means.

Plus, you know, it'll be fun to watch the trio and friends figure ways 
to get past that stuff.  I would expect the next book to be incredibly 
action-packed, as most to all of the backstory and buildup have been 
accomplished.  Whoever gets to make the movie will have fun :).
