As I was reading your post, this just occurred to me.  The whole "horcruxes are difficult to 
destroy" is a giant red herring laid temptingly in our paths.  After HBP, most of us think that 
DD's blackened, dead hand came from destroying the Horcrux.  Actually, it was from his 
lapse in judgement in trying to use the resurrection stone.  Much of the fun of good fiction is 
that we don't see everything coming and we are led to misinterpret things.
