the seven deadly sins are embedded in the horcruxes some how? Like 
perhaps each horcrux represents a deadly sin or perhaps the actual 
owner had been afflicted> by them, or maybe perhaps a deadly sin was 
afflicting Voldemort at the time of creating the horcrux? Depending 
on who is afflicted with the sin, ie Voldie or his victims, this 
could help leading us into figuring out what they are.

6 Horocruxes, not 7.  7 soul pieces, 1 within Voldemort.  But your 
point is valid nonetheless as it pertains to the significance of 
Number 7 throughout the books.
