Ceridwen:
When I sit down and really think about Horcruxes, I do get the idea 
that they'll be done away with quickly so we can get down to the real 
action.  Maybe the untarnishable cup, the mysterious Ravenclaw or 
Gryffindor object, the locket, and whatever's left, will have decayed 
with the presence of LV's soul for such a long time (sixteen years or 
so, I guess)?  He's already set it up that a living thing which he 
possesses dies an unnaturally fast death.  They did seem like the 
least important thing, even though DD was adamant about Harry getting 
that memory.  Maybe the real key is just knowing LV?
