Tonks:
Now that is an idea I don't think I have seen explored here. We know 
that to make a horcurx one has to kill. It would make sense from an 
evil point of view that in order to distroy a horcrux someone has to 
die. We know that RAB died. I think most have assumed that he was 
killed by LV or maybe by Bella because he wanted to leave, but his 
death could have had another purpose known only to him. 

If your theory is correct, it does not look good for a number of 
folks in book 7!!

Thoughts anyone?
