I’ve been reading through the books since it’s going to be a while before the next comes out, and I’ve started to wonder about something… Dumbledore’s trading card touts that he “defeated” a dark wizard years back.
If defeated means killed, then wouldn’t he also be able to create a horcrux? In fact, wouldn’t he choose to do so after he learned that Malfoy was given the task to kill him? If he did indeed create a horcrux, I would bet he placed it in Fawkes, since Fawkes is immortal. DD and Fawkes have always had a kind holy duality thing going on. Maybe he created a horcrux out of Fawkes years ago.
Additionally, that makes me wonder about Wormtail, since he was actually the one who killed Cedric, and some others. But he may not know how to do it. Dumbledore does, because he knows all the dark magic.
