Geoff:
Following June's question, I did a little digging and discovered the following 
information given by JKR at a Bloomsbury Live Chat in 2007:

"Whose murders did Voldemort use to create each of the Horcruxes?

JKR: The diary - Moaning Myrtle. The cup - Hepzibah Smith, the previous 
owner. The locket - a Muggle tramp. Nagini - Bertha Jorkins (Voldemort 
could use a wand once he regained a rudimentary body, as long as the 
victim was subdued). The diadem - an Albanian peasant. The ring - 
Tom Riddle Senior.

Can Harry speak Parseltongue when he is no longer a horcrux?
JKR: No, he loses the ability, and is very glad to do so."

Hope that sheds a little more light into some of the darker corners.
