Carol responds:
And isn't it ironic that HRH are in Bill's house, plotting with a
Goblin they know is not trustworthy, when Bill actually worked for
Gringotts? Wouldn't it be logical to ask for his help in breaking into
the Lestranges' vault? I'm quite sure that he wouldn't have suggested
Poly-juicing Hermione as Bellatrix, for starters. That particular
Horcrux capture (theft) was nearly disastrous since it alerted
Voldemort that his Horcruxes were being taken. If they could have
taken the cup without alerting the Goblins and Bella and LV and
without losing the Sword of Gryffindor, a lot fewer lives would have
been lost.

But, of course, that wasn't the story JKR wanted to tell, so she made
Harry promise DD not to tell anyone except his two friends about the
Horcruxes.
