Lolita:

Of course he's killed more than that - enough to fill a lake with 
corpses and turn them into Inferi. I doubt that anyone else knew of 
the existence of the cave (apart from RAB, of course, and he's dead - 
or his helper, but it seems that he told no one, or DD wouldn't have 
spent entire year trying to locate the cave) and contributed to 
the 'collection'. 

Plus, it says that both Amelia Bones and Regulus Black were killed by 
LV himself (please don't take Sirius's word that RB wasn't important 
enough for granted. If anything, Sirius was not completely sane and 
was sometimes just plain *wrong* about people - he says that Pettigrew 
is pathetic, stupid and weak, and Peter *tricked* him - not only him, 
but *everybody* else, including DD, got away with it for 12 years, 
made his escape yet again and is now spying SS in his own house. That 
is cunning and dangerous for me - he's constantly playing the 
*Underestimate me!* card, in order to keep tricking people and thus 
*surviving*. Sirius also says that Crouch Snr was ruthless, and yet we 
saw Croutch settle with Karkaroff, release SS on account of DD's 
guarantees, and believe both LMalfoy and Avery when they said they 
were Imperiused. So, I would take his statement with a pinch of salt 
and agree that LV might have very well killed RB himself). 

And then, there is DD's statement that LV saved particularly important 
murders  to create Horcruxes. Which would perhaps explain why he 
didn't want to kill Lily - he didn't need to kill her (but that opens 
a whole can of worms on Harry-the-Horcrux theory and I don't have the 
time to go there now).

I agree with you that soul doesn't tear equally. LV's soul - even the 
thing that's inside him, is probably a collection of shreds and 
threads and itsy bitsy pieces. He secured the 6 parts outside his 
body, and what remained inside is probably as shredded as a 
panhandler's uniform - but in one place.

Cheers, 
Lolita.
