Jen: Come to think of it, how does Voldemort get those ripped soul 
sections out? I can only think of a couple of options at the moment:

1) Part of the ritual for sealing the Horcrux involves the soul 
being summoned out through the mouth and into the object. 

2) Dementors could help by sucking out the soul. Now this one is 
tricky. What exactly do you offer a dementor to get your soul 
portion back, hmmm? 

I do think preparing the Horcrux would take place at the scene of 
the death. It just fits the style of the dark magic we've seen so 
far. Like using human elements for the re-birthing potion, or 
siponing out Ginny's soul through the diary, there would probably be 
some macabre elements to the spellwork required for a Horcrux. 
Including something from the victim, a blood payment perhaps. 

Maybe you can collect what you need at the scene and split for the 
actual Horcrux. Voldemort seems the type to do this over his fallen 
victim, though.
