I have not posted in a LONG time due to time/lack of internet/and
graduation/job searching but feel the need to comment on the number 7.

7 (in literature) means Perfection, the perfect number. To Lord Voldy,
this would be the perfect number for him to choose in splitting his
soul. It is a number of power, of perfection, a magical number. It is
the number of completion. It means luck to many cultures so why not
"add" to his power by performing this act to this number's extent?

If you want to look at it another way, seven also represents the month
of July, Harry's Birth month. Lord Voldy of course did not know this
when starting his Horocruxes but what better person to perform the final
splitting of his soul (7th peice) than to someone born in the 7th Month.
When did he attempt to kill Harry?

7 is the number of the 7 Deadly Sins, as well as the number of
Sacraments. It is the number of heads of the Beast in Revelations. 7 is
a strong number thoughout literature, the Bible, Religion and Cultures
all over the Globe. It is easy to recognize because it has common
meanings in so many different things.

Lord Voldy is a perverse creature (I won't call him a man) and by
distorting such a powerful and holy number would add to the perverse and
horrible act behind creating these horocruxes. It adds to its power.

There will be 7 Books in this series. There were 7 rings in the LOTR
Trilogy (3 another powerful number- Trinity).
