Pippin snipped:

Agreed. From what Dumbledore said earlier about Voldemort's
careless disposition of The Ring and The Diary, he wasn't expecting
the sort of elaborate and dangerous protections he encountered. I
doubt he would ever have taken Harry with him, and possibly wouldn't
have engaged Harry in the horcrux hunt at all if he'd known.

Snow:

Why wouldn't he? Harry is the only known person to come into contact 
with a Horcrux and come out of it unscathed. Even if the Phoenix had 
its role to play and the Basilisk tooth that was driven into the 
diary was tainted with poison, the result was that Harry was left 
purely well. Dumbledore did not have that same interaction with a 
Horcrux even though he was well aware of Harry's outcome in the 
Chamber.

This could be why Dumbledore chose Harry for the designed mission. 
Harry is the only one who can defeat the Horcruxes without harm to 
himself. 

Then again I'm looking at this from the point of view that Harry has 
a bit of Voldy in him and is therefore protected the same as 
Voldemort is against any traps that these Horcruxes have been 
assigned. The Horcrux would not act any differently towards Harry 
than Voldemort when approached if both of them represent the same 
person, would they?


Pippin snipped:

When Voldemort recovered the locket from Bella nothing would
seem amiss, since the outside would be perfectly genuine and, 
according to Dumbledore, Voldemort can't detect the presence or 
absence of his soul fragments. The seemingly intact Slytherin 
locket would then go into the green goo. There would be
no reason for Voldemort to tell Snape what use he'd made of
the recipe.

Snow:

Then why did the locket from Dumbledore's pocket appear different to 
Harry immediately from the one he vaguely remembered seeing when 
Dumbledore took it from the basin in the cave?
