Brothergib;
I agree with Alla! Horcruxes are not things that are easily disposed 
of. As I have posted before, there is also nowhere near enough time 
for Harry to deal all the remaining Horcruxes. He doesn't even know 
what they all are!! Snape will be chief Horcrux destroyer. IMO, he 
will go to LV, claim that DD knew about Horcruxes and where they all 
were. He will promise to protect the Horcruxes, and LV now implicitly 
trusts Snape, so tells him where and what they are. Snape will then 
destroy the Horcruxes. Obviously that still leaves the locket for 
Harry to destroy and maybe Nagini.
