After reading some of these posts, an idea comes to mind.  I believe 
from earlier timeline speculations, that Godric's Hollow event 
happened in the 1980's.  Given the canon carbon dating method, we 
have to look at the resources available at that time for Voldemort 
to do his horcrux spells.  

He probably had a beta version of Microsoft SPELL (with the 
additional Horcrux subroutine).  There was no Microsoft windows with 
simple icons to click on.  As Voldy is trying to type his commands 
in DOS, it seems obvious that his drive crashed and caused a 
catastrophic failure.  This assumes that he did not have a 
Macintosh, but even the Macs of the early 80s would have had trouble 
with very complicated spells such as the Horcrux.  I am not even 
sure that Horcrux software was available for Macs at that time!


Even after running the disc recovery routine with Priori Incantatem, 
some spells were lost and therefore left out of the canon.  It then 
leads us to speculate about the source of the scar on Harry's 
forehead.  Since Microsoft SPELL beta version was not thoroughly 
tested before worldwide distribution, it was imperative for the user 
to keep up with subsequent upgrades for their wands (at his own 
expense of course).  Voldemort being the loner that he is may not 
have kept in touch with local retailers.  So we could speculate that 
he did not have the latest version from Olivanders (PS 1.5 
perhaps).  The software interrupt caused a hardware crash which 
caused a disc write error which left a permanent lightning bolt 
shaped scar due to the large amount of static elecricity in GH at 
that moment in time. 

Bill Gates has not answered any of our phone calls lately.  His 
associates can neither confirm nor deny these rumours.  
Subsequently, Microsoft SPELL is no longer available in the bundled 
software on your PC wand.   You have to pay for the upgrade to get 
any Horcrux related features.
