Doddiemoemoe here:


While I do not believe that Dd conjured a horcrux to "dip" the potion 
out... you both have me wondering if by using the "goblet" it could 
become a horcrux once it has made contact with the potion. (hence, the 
horcrux was, in fact the potion...not the locket--so the locket would 
be a massive red herring...so the horcrux could either be 1. the 
goblet--still in the cave, or 2. the horcrux was destroyed when DD who 
had imbibed the potion died.

tee-hee

How's that for a theory? Even I do not know the answer..I feel so 
rotten posting my theories before discussing them in chat and 
researching the entire cannon, but first the football season...and now 
the olympics. *heavy sigh*

Wouldn't this theory be even better if Snape had brewed said potion DD 
drank in the cave and this is why he feels so "close" to the dark lord
(i.e. lucious feels close to the dark lord because voldy gave him the 
diary to care for, and apparently he entrusted something to 
Bella)...only to learn in book seven that he(Snape) destroyed his 
own "status" with the dark lord--even though it resulted in DD's death?

Better yet...the "memories" DD relives while drinking said potion are 
actually Snape's?
