Carol responds:
Or Voldemort *did* get to his wand but didn't utter an incantation or
point the wand at Dumbledore.

DD says that from that interview onward, he's been unable to keep a
DADA teacher for more than a year. So I agree with you that he didn't
make DD or anyone/anything else into a Horcrux with that movement, but
I disagree that he didn't cast a spell. I'm quite sure that he had his
hand on the wand in his pocket and cast a nonverbal spell jinxing or
cursing the DADA position at that moment, with unortunate or even
disastrous consequences for a number of characters we're familiar
with: Quirrell, Lockhart, Lupin, real and fake Moody, Umbridge, Snape,
and Dumbledore himself.

Carol, who still doesn't think that Harry is a Horcrux or that one can
be created accidentally or in advance, any more than a cake can be
"encased" in a box before the cake is baked
