montims:

And yet DD says this: "However, if my calculations are correct, Voldemort
was at least one Horcrux short of his goal of six when he entered your
parents' house with the intention of killing you.  He seems to have reserved
the process of making Horcruxes for particularly significant deaths.  You
would certainly have been that.  He believed that in killing you, he was
destroying the danger the prophecy had outlined.  I am sure that he was
intending to make his final Horcrux with your death.  As we know, he
failed."
