This one I do not buy.  I don't believe the trophy Tom Riddle got could be a horcrux.  For one
thing, I don't think that Voldemort would put part of his soul in anything which reminded him of
his muggle heritage.  He hates the name Riddle - why would he continue to be associated with it,
particularly entrust something as valuable as his soult to it?

Also, lets suppose that he did use the trophy.  How?  Who did he kill to be able to do it?  He
can't have done it whilst asking for the DADA post - he couldn't presumably kill someone whilst on
the premises - not right under Dumbledore's nose.  And the only death we know about whilst he was
at school was Myrtle, who died by Basilisk glare.  I don't think it makes sense that a horcrux can
be created when someone/something else committed the murder - unless the intention is enough, even
if you don't do it yourself?

OK, hit me with it.  What theory have I missed this time?  <vbg>
