CV:

I've always believed that the planned target for the horcrux was the 
house at GH itself. It is an artifact of a founder. It would be 
hidden in plain sight. It is indestructable (oops). I believe that 
the failure to complete the horcrux enchantment because of the curse 
backfiring is what caused the house to collapse.
