The Diary doesn't appear to have been be a 'very powerful magic item'
pre-horcruxing. Nor, for that matter, does the snake, if it indeed is a
horcrux. I could be mean and point out that we don't even have any idea
if any of the others were either, they could simply be mundane items
that were owned by the founders. I mean, Albus Dumbledore is a powerful
wizard, but his lemon drops (surely what someone wanting to make a
horcrux of an artifact of Dumbledore would choose) are perfectly
ordinary. Can you explain further where you got the idea that a very
powerful magic item is needed?
