Hello everybody!!  Writing first time to the group. Joined recently...
Well, IMO this theory sounds logical. It concludes that the first 
horcrux LV made must be more stronger and last horcrux along with LV 
soul in the body will be weaker comparitively.

This explains why a great wizard like DD had to sacrifice the whole of his hand while destroying the ring. It must have been the 1st horcrux.  The locket can be 2nd and the diary may have been among the last so it was easy for Harry to destroy it..

If this is correct, then it'll be easier for Harry to destroy the 
other remaining weaker horcruxes (comapratively) and at the end, LV.

pp, hoping to find some canon to this theory so that it will be easy 
for Harry to destroy LV
