Possible source of DD's hand injury

[Miikka R.]

No: HPFGUIDX 139656

I don't have enough data to present much evidence one way or the 
other, so I'm going to keep this short.

DD's destruction of the ring Horcrux was apparently difficult, 
dangerous and required extreme measures. Horcruxes contain parts of 
soul, the living-ness of which is in question. The ring that cost 
Dumbledore his hand remained intact.

I therefore suggest that DD committed the deed by sticking the ring 
through the veil - while holding it in his hand, which from that point 
forth looked dead and didn't heal at all.

Discuss.
