Help with canon

[wook77]

Ok, so this is what goes through my head as I'm trying to sleep... (yes, Yoda is talking to me)


Wook's canon question(s) of the moment -


Voldemort split his soul into a proposed 7 Horcruxes. Then he was "killed" by Harry.

When he was "killed", does that mean he used one of the Horcruxes so that there were only 6 for Harry and Dumbledore to destroy?

If he didn't, then how did he survive? Shouldn't his soul have been so weakened from being split up like that that he couldn't have survived without using one of his Horcruxes?

If he did, which one did he use?

Am I just being a moron because there's an obvious answer somewhere in the books that I didn't see? Has this been debated a gadzillion times and I just didn't pay attention?

Thoughts? Feelings? Suggestions? Links to previous discussions?

Well, what I think is that in being killed he used up the seventh of the Horcrux that was still within his body. However, he could not die because there were other pieces of his soul still surviving out there.

Can't explain why I think this, though. I'm probably horribly wrong.

That's about what I'm thinking as well. He had to have used up one of his ties to the world, right? I mean, otherwise, how does one really destroy a Horcrux without destroying the chunk of soul or something?
