zgirnius:
A couple problems with this theory:

1) Voldemort, we learn, prefers top make "important" objects his 
Horcruxes. Does the Potion qualify? Perhaps...at least,its location has 
personal significance to him.

2) Is the fake locket and note set there by Voldemort? Why? If not, 
then what happened with RAB?

Also, I find it interesting you like this as an ESE!Snape theory. If 
the Potion (like the Diary before it) had the ability to possess the 
one who used it (which woul dbe drinking it it, in the case of a 
Potion) then Dumbledore's odd symptoms were quite possibly a (losing?) 
struggle to avoid possession by Voldemort's soul piece. This makes the 
killing necessary rather more convincingly than other theories of why 
Good!Snape had to do it.. We all know Dumbledore believes there are 
things worse than death. I would imagine being turned into Voldie, Mark 
2 would be one of them.
