This still leaves Harry with 1 Horcrux found/destroyed (diary) and 
Dumbledore with 1 Horcrux found/destroyed (ring).  The locket from 
the cave proved to be a fake.  Or are you saying that you think it is 
a real horcrux?  With the RAB note inside the locket, it would appear 
that the real horcrux that it replaced is still at large.  Or is it?  

I have read a theory (I don't recall if it was on this list or 
elsewhere) that the locket in the cave is actually a real horcrux and 
the RAB note was just part of LV's protection of the horcrux.  This 
would be a clever protection.  After going through the all the 
magical protections in the cave, the person retrieving the horcrux 
would think that they had a fake due to the note.  With this 
scenario, the RAB could stand for "Really Any Body".

If this were the case, 3 horcruxes would be accounted for.  Harry 
would only have 3 more to find in book 7.  With 1 less horcrux to 
find, more of the story could be spent on resolving open issues.  I'm 
not saying that I buy into this theory.  I'm simply restating what I 
have read.
