Horcruxes - a different thought

Hi all,

With all the discussion about Horcruxes after Goddlefrood's excellent
summary, I again remembered something that had been back of mind for
quite some time.

Before I write about the item in particular, just a few reminders
about what Harry and DD believe (do not even want to get into the
discussion about what Hircruxes may actually be out there)

There were 6 Horcruxes in all, of which 2 were destoyed, leaving the
following four:
a) The cup
b) The locket
c) Something of Gryffindors or Ravenclaws
d) Possibly Nagini

Now, there has been substantial evidence represented here that has
convinced me that RAB is indeed Regulus Black, and that information
along with the locket found at 12,GP does make me believe that
Slytherin's locket was probably there during the OoTP timeline. It may
still be there or it may have been nicked by Dung and may even be with
 Dumbledore (not Albus but Aberforth).

Now, the question in my mind - in the cave, when Harry tried the
Sumoning Charm - he said Accio Horcrux. 

Quote from HBP: The Cave

With a noise like an explosion, something very large and pale erupted
out of the dark water some twenty feet away; before Harry could see
what it was, it had vanished again with a crashing splash that made
great, deep ripples on the mirrored surface.

This looks like one of the Inferi has probably leapt out of the lake
and then fell back in. DD's explanantion was that it was something
that is "ready to respond should we attempt to seize the Horcrux"

However, that does not add up for me. Why would something have
responded if there was no real Horcrux to be retreived? I believe that
one of the Inferi had a Horcrux on him or her, and that particular
Inferius (sp?) was pulled up with the Accio Horcrux, but fell back
into the lake after that, a the charm may not have been sufficient to
summon it all the way.

If so, it maybe that RAB is now one of the many Inferi in that lake,
with the difference that he has a Horcrux on him. And that Horcrux
maybe a different one from the Locket. If so, I would bet that it was
the cup, which was the only thing that could have scooped out the
potion from the basin in the center of the lake. (This thought is
based on one of the incredible editorials I read on Mugglenet, by
Maya) You can go to

Just waiting for this to be ripped apart - but the main question I
have is, why did something in the cave respond to the Accio Horcrux spell?
