I love this theory. Everything fits so elegantly!
I apologize for the oversimplification below, but for some reason I'm
having trouble keeping track of it all today. So, to sum up, we can
surmise that two of the six Horcruxes have been destroyed. That is,
the ring and the diary. The way I see it, that leaves four remaining
Horcruxes for Harry to find and destroy in Book 7. Using the tarot
suits as a guide, each of the remaining Horcruxes should be:
jewel......Salazar's locket..Slytherin
cup........Helga's cup.......Hufflepuff
swords.....Godric's sword....Gryffindor
wands......Rowena's wand.....Ravenclaw
The only problem I have is this: It seems unlikely that Voldie could
have even gotten into Dumbledore's office, let alone create a Horcrux
out of Gryffindor's beloved sword. Further, it's unlikely that, if he
had succeeded, it would have gone undetected and, even worse, come to
Harry's rescue in the Chamber of Secrets.
So, are we back to Harry as Horcrux? Could the sword, originally
safeguarded at Godric's Hollow, been Voldemort's intended target? It
seems feasible that either the sword's rightful place was within
Godric's Hollow, or that Dumbledore, suspecting the worst, decided to
hide the sword along with the Potters and Harry. And, as a result of
Voldie's disastrous AK attempt, was Harry the mistaken recipient of
the sixth and final piece of Voldie's soul?
Ack! How long before Book 7???!
