Did R.A.B. drink the Kool-Aid?

I've read a number of ponderings on who helped R.A.B. steal the locket
and how they did it. Here is another possibility.  As some one
mentioned, (about 2000 posts ago), Lucius Malfoy was entrusted with
the possession of the diary. Perhaps R.A.B. was delegated with the
task of hiding to locket in the cave. Instead of hiding the locket, he
hides a fake and pockets the real thing. Is there any indication that
you have to empty the toxic birdbath to place an object in it, or can
you just drop what ever it is into the soup and take the next ferry home?

Another point. I'm not yet in the school that thinks that Harry is a
horcrux. I'm still thinking, four founders, four objects. I also think
that Hermione is going to be the one who does the grunt work in the
library to figure out what the last two objects are.

Question: Are witches/wizards who grew up with and spend there summers
with Muggle families influenced by Muggle ideas?  Hermione went to
school, one assumes, with Muggles before she enrolled at Hogwart's.
She also comes from a family of professionals. She must have been
exposed to computers along the way. I'm surprised that she hasn't
created herself Google-ish magic index of the library.
