What interests me is that although DD destroyed the Horcrux within 
Marvolo's ring due to his own 'prodigous skill', he only survived the 
whole episode due to Severus Snape!! Whatever the curse was that 
affected DD, he was not able to repel it himself. Therefore is it 
possible that Snape is actually more capable of dealing with these 
Horcruxes (and the curses placed upon them), than DD himself?

Also, if a plan does exist between Snape and DD to facilitate Harry's 
destruction of Voldemort, I do not think that Snape's role would be 
to somehow point Harry in the right direction. I cannot see DD asking 
Snape - 'Severus, although you are clearly a powerful wizard and know 
more about the Dark Arts than anyone I know, I do not want you to 
deal with the Horcruxes personally. I would rather Harry deals with 
them, even though it will put him in mortal danger'.
