va32h:

I am going to be totally blasphemous here, and suggest that this 
might be JKR's habit of reusing the same wording/imagery (something 
she does often enough...)

But I do think there was something Bellatrix was entrusted with, and 
I do think it's a horcrux (but not the locket, one of the other 
ones).
