Ceridwen:
Your post got me thinking, too.  Dumbledore said that LV wants to use 
significant deaths to create his horcruxes.  He may expext 
the 'something tremendously magical' that he may be expecting to happen 
once the final horcrux is created, to be enhanced by the victim's 
importance: H. Smith, as Hufflepuff's descendant; Riddle Sr. as LV's 
direct ancestor; HP as The Boy Who Lived; Myrtle as his first kill; his 
grandparents as his ancestors.  Bryce may just have been a 'filler', 
not really that significant except, perhaps, as LV's first kill after 
being disembodied.

Ceridwen, mulling over the magic of importance.
