Sorry if this has been discussed, I havent had a chance to go over all 
the previous posts, but I wanted to get another opinion on a few 
things...

1) I have a hard time believing Snape is bad... JK makes it too obvious 
that he is bad for it to be so. He made an Unbreakable Vow with Draco's 
Mum... so had to kill Dumbledore eventually, and I think Dumbledore 
told him so (which is why Nearly Headless Nick heard DD and Snape 
arguing) - the Horcrux in Dumbledore from the Cave Potion is an 
interesting twist I hadn't considered (will think on this)

1a) If Snape was bad he would have killed Harry - why not. If Voldemort 
was willing to have someone else kill Dumbledore, why not Harry - 
actually, especially Harry. If he can have Harry dead and doesn't have 
to be involved, it has got to be a good thing - especially when he has 
had personal attempts in the past to kill Harry and all have failed... 
why not have Snape do it.

1b) And, is the reason that Dumbledore trusts Snape so much that he and 
Snape (Professor Snape, Harry) have their own Unbreakable Vow?

2) I am assuming the RAB that took the original Horcruxed necklace was 
Regulus Black (Sirius's Brother) in a last ditched effort to redeem 
himself for joining the death eaters, and was killed for doing it.

3) Where are the 7 Horcruxes - 
 3.1) Voldemort
 3.2) The Guant Ring
 3.3) Slytherins Necklace (which was stolen by RAB)
 3.4) Riddle's Diary
 3.5) Nagini (this is evidenced in book 5 when DD muses after hearing 
Harry's vision of Mr Weasley's attack - "but in essence divided" - he 
new harry was channeling Voldemort, now Harry's channeling Nagini, they 
must be connected)
 3.6) Hufflepuffs Goblet - this an assumption of Dumbledore's
 3.7) What else... something of Ravenclaws, something of Gryffindor's, 
Still inside the Chamber of Secrets (something has to bring Harry back 
to Hogwarts next year - why have 7 books if he doesnt do 7 years of 
school?) or my favourite - inside Harry Himself

3a) I have been inclined to dismiss and then rethink this Horcrux Harry 
theory - Maybe Voldemort doesn't know there is one in harry, but this 
is why they are so connected - harry has part of voldemort in him?? 
It's a dodgey theory I know - too many holes - why would voldy not 
know, if he does know why try to kill him, (just to name a couple)

3b) How do you get rid of a Horcrux - Riddle's Diary suffered a 
Basalisk fang, but the Guant Ring was still intact once the Horcrux was 
removed.

What do *you* think - have we already seen what the 7 Horcruxes are, 
but don't realise yet?
