Who knows about the Horcruxes and what items they are likely to be?
Harry. AFAIK, no one in the Order even knows about Voldemort's use of
Horcruxes. The only ones who know are the Trio and possibly Slughorn.
Has Harry even told anyone what the Horcruxes are likely to be? I
remember him repeating the list like a mantra in his head, but I don't
recall him ever telling anyone else. McGonagall apparently didn't know
what Dumbledore was doing during his excursions from Hogwarts -- she
asked him about it after DD's death -- so it seems unlikely she knew
anything about them.
