I just thought I would add a bit about the Horcrux timelines. First 
of all, I believe DD when he says that LV was going to use Harry's 
death to make his final Horcrux. Therefore, when LV entered Godric's 
Hollow he must have been in possession of 5 Horcruxes. The first four 
must be the diary (created whilst he was at Hogwarts), the ring 
(created probably with the death of his father), the locket & the cup 
(created before GH). As to the fifth Horcrux - it has to be Nagini. 
LV's snakelike appearance is surely evidence of this. And if we 
follow the timeline - when LV talks to DD in the chapter 'Lord 
Voldemort's request' in HBP he is not yet snakelike. When he appears 
on the back of Quirrel's head, he is snakelike! He clearly would not 
be able to make a Horcrux as the ethereal being he has been since GH, 
therefore the Nagini horcrux was made before GH.

As to the sixth Horcrux - possibilities??

He hasn't made it yet? Maybe he had intended to use Harry's death to 
create a Horcrux out of the prophecy. Would certainly explain why LV 
was so casual in his attempt to kill Harry after he found out the 
prophecy was smashed. It also makes some sense of the 'Weapon' thread 
running through OOTP. A horcrux that only LV and Harry (dead) could 
touch without suffering madness!

Or maybe LV did try to make Harry a horcrux but Lily's protection 
prevented the spell being completed and ejected it from Harry. This 
caused the mass carnage witnessed at GH and the scar is actually the 
Horcrux, present on Harry without actually having touched his soul!
At this point I have to put my hand up and say I don't believe in 
Harry Horcrux, but if he is, I don't see why there can't be some form 
of magic that can remove the Horcrux from Harry without damaging 
Harry.

I have to admit, along with Snape's allegiance, discovering the final 
Horcrux are the reasons I am most excited about book 7!
