I found something that I think is interesting, I don't know if anyone brought it up and if you did I might have some new insight. Remember when we found that someone else had taken the necklase that they thought a Horcrux would be in but it had a note and the initials, well I was looking in my book for someone it could be and finally found in book five when Sirius and Harry were looking at the drapes and his relative had been blasted off because he went against voldemort and he had the first and last initial right so I was thinking if Harry could figure that out then he might be able to find a place to start as to where the other one might be but those are only my opinions.

Just a thought but we are not actually told at the end of Philosophers Stone that Quirrel has Died as a result of Harry, DD tells Harry that he arrived just in time to pull Quirrel off of him, but then what.. perhaps DD finished him of and we only have DD's word that the stone was destroyed, perhaps it is now DD horcrux

DD could have done any thing with the sorceror's stone at any time he wanted..
Quirrol(sp) was already , it was DD showing up and scaring off Morty that finished him off.

Good thought Adiki because in the first book Harry, Ron, and Hermione are going to the third floor to retrieve the sorcerer's stone and they run into Peeves. Harry pretends he's the Bloody Baron to ward off Peeves and says the Baron has his reasons for being invisible. Maybe that's a clue.

really, I do not see your argument as really all that convincing. one, Dumbledore wouldn't do it. two, I was under the impression that creating a horcrux required the s of many people, not just one. Three, if indeed Fawkes was a Horcrux, does that mean the Harry and Voldemort's wands both contain parts of Dumbledore's soul.

Horcruxes are obviously very complex, but here are my thoughts on your comments:

1. Dumbledore wouldn't do it. On this, we agree. I think you have to be really evil to make a horcrux.

2. Making a horcrux involves s of many people? Where did you get that from in the books? Only one is required, that rips your soul and allows you to place that ripped part of your soul in a horcrux.

3. It depends when Fawkes became the horcrux, doesn't it? (Before or after feathers were taken from him to make the wands.) In any event, there's no information we've ever been given to lead us to believe that if a living thing is the container of the horcrux, a small portion of that living thing neccessarily contains the horcrux soul fragment.

In any event, this just illustrates how complex horcruxes could be and how much we really don't know about them.

Just as DD was able to become invisible with out a cloak, perhaps DD has other ways of extending his life..
not nessisarily making him immortal, but something more than just eatting right and exercising.

I strongly doubt that DD ever went so far as to create a horcrux, but I would not doubt that he has at least experimented with ways of increasing his "active" life.

First of all I'd like to say how much I've loved reading this site. There are so many amazing theories here that I would NEVER have thought about.

To begin with I loved the idea of Dumbledore having a Horcux in the form of Fawkes but as I read on I began to realise that it was more and more unlikely as- as everyone said Dumbledore wouldn't choose that way to live, although I do believe he ed Grindlewade (sp?). I do also believe Fawkes plays a big part in DD's . Hagrid too as when I re-read the last few chapters it was also Hagrid who moved DD from the bottom of the tower. (It was atop the Lightning Stuck Tower that DD's occured not the Astronomy Tower btw). I do still think that something isn't quite right about DD so quickly/easily and Snape too.

I think it's Sirius that hasn't d not DD. Again re-reading the last few chapters of HBP Harry "said" (you know what I mean!) that there had been no body of Sirius' to bury. Plus Sirius would be able to give more information about RAB as it seems pretty likely that it's his brother (then again with JKR you never really know!). I did also like the idea that it was THE locket from OftP but wouldn't Harry even faintly remember seeing it there? Still could be likely though.

I'm sure I'll have more to say later!

This may be like way out of the picture but could Dumbledore be an animagus or metamorphis?

When Luna Lovegood states that she can still see her mother across the veil, can't harry see Dumbledore across the veil?
