I thought more a small selection of DEs would have one. I mean, if Death Eaters were being rounded up and killed, wouldn't you want to entrust at least one of the horcruxes with someone who isn't so well known? I feel like I'm stretching it here, but in the event that Regulus was given the locket, I guess he would have put it there. I may be putting too much confidence in his abilites but I've never imagined him to be a sub-par wizard, just not a brilliant one. If I wanted to remove myself from the DEs while still appearing to be loyal to them I'd hide it in a manner like that. My assumption is that those entrusted with the items were told to hide them or keep them safe, though I'm not sure Lucius did what he did with the Diary because he just wanted to get rid of it, or didn't think that Voldemort was going to be back any time soon, or he knew full well what was going on and what the diary did, how to use it and what it would lead to.
In all honesty, JK has certainly left me with a huge amount of questions that I can't seem to come up with a water tight theory left. I think this is mostly because there's a whole load of information we don't know, and quite probably a whole lot of information that we'll never know at all. I mean, Harry could easily destroy the horcruxes once he's found them without knowing their full history over the last fifty years.
four days to go. Also, has anyone noticed that the timer on the Leaky isn't right? maybe my counting is off, or maybe my 9.01 am release time we have in Aus isn't the same as the release time the US get it. I mean, the US get a midnight release, am I right? So does the UK.
So, the UK: Midnight.
Australia EST: 9am (when I'm getting mine.)
If we were to release it in the USA at this time, It'd be 4pm on the 20th in LA, and 7pm in NY. I know that doesn't sound quite as romantic, a 4pm release, but it means that when USE potter fans get their grubby mitts on a copy of DH, I'd have been already reading for eight hours. Sucks to be american right now. I'd hate to be sitting there knowing that in other parts of the world people are already reading the book.
