Bart:
A day or two ago, I wrote a post, which, based on the private reaction, 
was not widely understood, so I will make my point clearer:

A horcrux spell has been described as being quite complex (far more 
complex than an AK spell, which seems to require the word and the intent 
more than fine wand movements and precise pronunciation). I find it to 
be wildly improbable that a spell that was not supposed to be a horcrux 
spell could somehow accidentally become one (as improbable as someone 
dusting the keys to a piano would sound like an expert concert pianist 
playing).
