Phooey on spoiler space. Everybody has read the book or they wouldn't be here, right?
 
We found out from CoS that the bit of person in a horcrux can take on a life of their own. They can connect with a person and vampire their life force to become a living person on their own. With that in mind, I presume that when the horcrux person gets a body, they can then split themselves off into more horcruxes? Can you say Revenge of the Clones?  Ewww!
 
While I doubt Jo had this scenario in mind, we actually have more evidence that it is a possibility. While Vapormort was floating around in Albania living off rats and whatever, he was slowly rejuvenating. He had actually gotten to Ugly!Baby status under the careful husbandry of Wormtail. What if the other horcruxes are making their way into corporal status under the radar?
 
Thoughts?

Yes, that's exactly what I was trying to say! :)  I'm glad it was 
clear - I feel the same way about Horcruxes as I felt when I was 
trying to wrap my brain around how time turners work ...

<<So LV's reason for having 7 (total) isn't that he can revive 6 
times, but that he is protected even if something happens to 5 of 
them and someone tries to kill him.>>

Yes, exactly! And we've already seen that he had good reason to 
create more than one, as the ring, diary and possibly the locket 
have already been destroyed.
