Voldemort killed personally?

Tamara:

Do you think Voldemort has made any other horcruxes since returning 
to full strength? In killing Bones possibly? And why would he kill 
Dorcus Meadows personally? Was she somehow related to Dumbledore? I 
find it odd that no one has plunged deeper into this question.

Snow:

I'm not certain from the snipping to whom you are directing this 
question but I will assume it is myself.

The first question, I would emphatically say no, even though 
Dumbledore suggests otherwise. The subsection of the question 
referring to Bones can only be answered with supposition that she was 
indeed killed and that she indeed died at the hand of Voldemort. 

The second question is quite interesting since Mad Eye makes this 
accusation that Voldemort himself killed Dorcas and there is no 
hesitation in Mad Eyes accusation whatsoever, therefore, I would be 
more than willing to accept that Dorcas died at the hand of 
Voldemort. What is more interesting with this death is the lack of 
any clue to knowledge about who Dorcas was or why she was important 
enough to use her death as a Horcrux. 

I would assume that Dorcas' death was important enough to use as a 
Ravenclaw Horcrux item because Slytherin and Hufflepuff items had 
previously been accomplished, as Horcrux containers, as far as 
Dumbledore's claim. Also the claim, from Dumbledore, was that a 
Gryffindore item would be far fetched to secure. The deduction 
process would allow me such a conclusion since there are no facts to 
either secure my assumption nor dispute it. 

As far as relationship to Dumbledore, I'm sure it would be anyone's 
guess since we know little more of Dorcas' life than we do of 
Dumbledore's past, all is supposition. 

That won't stop us from supposing though, will it?

Cheers,
Snow
