now Pat:

I'm starting to wonder if Voldemort has still been saving the last
horcrux for Harry's death, thus Snape's insistence on "saving Harry
for the Dark Lord."  Dumbledore was definitely uncertain as to the
last horcrux, and so now I'm wondering if the DL has decided that
Harry will be the Gryffindor horcrux.  Just a thought.

thanks,
Pat, enjoying this chapter discussion and everyone's responses
