Didn't Dumbledore (and I am quoting from memory here), that these
objects were unimportant to the present time and that he had already
looked into these things?

In a way, I think we are trying too hard to read into what these simple
objects mean. They are simple childrens toys, nothing else. To Tom's
victims at the time they were something different. In an orphanage, and
to other children, simple objects are meaningful. Material possessions,
expecially in a place such as an orphanage, are rare and prized to the
individuals who own them. These objects were important in some way to
the children from whom Tom took them. Maybe it was the only thing the
child owned that was not stipened out by the Orphanage, or maybe the
objects were the only peice they had left from the family. Whatever they
were, they were meaningful AT THE TIME only.

He was also told to return the objects to the people whom they belonged
to. I do believe, however, that these were the precursers to the
Horicruxes. Tom/Voldy realized then that taking personal objects from
people gave you a certain power over them. Then, when Tom became
Voldermort, he realized by associating a bit of his soul to a meaningful
object through a murder, gave it any more power.

I just had a realization. Has anyone realized that, in the memories, the
horocruxes he made and the people he killed to form said Horicrux, were
all the OWNERS of the objects. What if, and this is off the wall, that
the INVISIBILITY cloak was an object of GRIFFENDOR??? I know this is a
CRAZY idea but it is a semi-reasonable one. We all have been searching
our brains to figure out what object could be Griffendor's. It I am
right on my crazy theory that the Horicrux killings were done performed
with the deaths of people who had the prized object in their possession
AT THE TIME OF THE DEATH, when what is to say that James was not in
possession of the cloak at his time of death. We know Dumbledore states
in SS that James left the cloak in his possession. Maybe DD received it
before James' death but VM didn't know it?

Now I am on the verge of incoherient rambling so I'll end this. Am I
just nutty or does anyone follow mt logic?
