Annemehr:
How about...
8. LV finishes up creating and suitably protecting Horcruxes until
five of them are done*, which takes him until said One is fifteen
months old, because he's saving the murder of The One(TM) for the
sixth and final vessel.  After all, what's Harry going to do to him in
the meantime, crawl up to him and bite his ankle?

*I only advance this theory because DD reckoned Harry's murder was to
supply the bit of soul for #6.  But personally I have no idea why
Moldyshorts wouldn't have lined up all six horcruxes decades before
then, if he'd done his first one circa 1952.  It can't take that long
to actually make one, if as DD suggests, LV could have whipped one up
from Frank Bryce's murder and Nagini as an afterthought.  Maybe he
likes to make *really* elaborate hiding places that take years and
years to construct...

~Anne,
finally caught up to you all...
