quickly do you need to 'make' the Horcrux? My understanding is that 
you need a very powerful magic item. Would the item need to be in your 
hand? I think Snape would have known about them.  Also, if he is still 
a double agent, IMO I think he would want one as protection against 
Tom. 

Kvapost now:

Oooh, delicioso! Snape having his own Horcrux(-es?)! I'm just thinking 
of that ironclad reason for DD to trust Snape. Could it be that Snape 
brought his Hx to DD as an act of complete surrender (on his way back 
from DE's camp) and as a sign of his unconditional trust towards DD.
Shame that canon sheds no light whatsoever on the issue though. :)
