Voldermort has a secret.

Because of RAB's note I am inclined to think that Voldemort has a
secret. At first glance we are supposed to believe that Horcruxes made
RAB turn away from Voldemort, but if you look at the wording carefully:

"To the Dark Lord
I know I will be dead long before you read this
but I wanted you to know that it was I who discovered your secret.
I have stolen the real Horcrux and intend to destroy it as soon as I
can.
I face death in the hope that when you meet your match
you will be mortal once more.
R.A.B."

(HBP, chap. 28)


"...it was I who discoverd your secret."

It sounds like the secret is the Horcrux but look at the next line:

"I have stolen the real Horcrux and intend to destroy it as soon as I
can."

"I face Death in the hope that when you meet your match you will be mortal
once more."

It sounds to me like the secret prompted him to destroy the Horcrux and
not that the Horcrux is the secret.

Why would a Death Eater be surprised that Voldemort has Horcruxes? They
know he kills mercilessly. So would it take such a stretch to imagine
that he would have Horcruxes.

No the secret is not the Horcrux. The secret is much worse. The secret
prompted a Death Eater, RAB, to sacrifice himself so Voldemort can be
easier to kill.

The Death Eaters are not the same as Voldemort. Most of the known Death
Eaters have some sort of love and family relationship, even Bellatrix
has her husband and her sister, who she loves enough to go against the
Dark Lord's orders. We have evidence from Dumbledore that Voldemort does
not know, undertand or is capable of love.

J.K also said that fact that someone has loved Snape and he knows of
love makes him more culpable. This can apply to most of the Death Eaters
if not all. This does not apply to Voldermort. Therefore Voldermort is a
being, so far removed from human emotions that his actions reflects that
of someone who has no conscience and is completly void of any emotions
that will make him feel remorse.

I believe that Voldermort's plan is something so unspeakable that even
Death Eaters would be against it. I believe that he hasn't let anyone in
on his real plans.

Remember Dumbledore said that Voldemort has no friends and no Death
Eater, even though they like to claim to be, is in his complete
confidence. Therefore it is logical to assume that he would not let his
Death Eaters in on his ultimate plan.

This is the secret I believe RAB was speaking of.

Then we must ask ourselves.  What can Voldemort have in mind that would
scare even a Death Eater?

Voldemort's ambitions are totally selfish and most likely do not include
the Death Eaters and will only benefit himself or due to his pattern of
self-hatred, no one.

As for what it may be:

I'm afraid that this is where my speculation comes to an end. It is one
of the few things that I think will surprise me in Deathly Hallows. I
have spent a great deal of time developing, accepting and rejecting
theories and I'm afraid I have left myself with very little to be
surprised about.
