Horcrux hunting

DD said, and we have seen, that the horcruxes are also a weapon.  
They kill anyone that tries to destroy them.  They may also use the 
life force of the victim to regenerate part of LV as it did in the 
diary.  With this in mind how, I ask you, is Harry going to be able 
to destroy them?  He almost died when he found the first one and we 
see what happened to DD with the ring.  As skilled a wizard as DD 
is, if it were not for Snape the ring would have killed DD.  I just 
can't see Harry destroying the horcruxes by himself or with his 
friends.  It will be certain death.

I have been thinking about who could destroy them. And who `would' 
destroy them.  I think that Slughorn would have the skill, but would 
not do it. He has too strong of a self preservation streak to take 
that risk.  I can see Mad-Eye doing it, and Snape of course. But we 
need Snape for something else at the end in the final battle between 
LV and Harry, so Snape can't do a horcrux too.  I expect the person 
who destroys the horcrux to die doing it. 

I don't want Tonks and Lupin to die.  Maybe another Auror will do 
it.  (have a bit of a self preservation streak myself. ;-)

So who will JKR kill off to destroy the horcruxes?  I think it would 
be nice of her if it were someone who was a loner. Someone who would 
not leave a wife/husband or family behind. And NO not Lupin!!
