i have some speculation as to how horcruxes work.

we know LV turned the certian things into horcruxes by putting a piece of his soul into them, thus making him immortal. That is why when his curse rebounded upon him, he was able to survive.

I assumed though, that when the piece of soul in the body was destroyed, a piece from a horcrux would take its place. If that is the case, then why when LV first lost his powers did he not lose any pieces of his soul?

If you understand what i am getting at, can i hear some thoughts?

That's not how a horcrux works. If that were the case, then Voldemort would have "used" one of his horcruxes when the AK curse rebounded on him when Harry was a baby. As it is, all of his horcruxes were still intact. What a horcrux does is tether soul that remained to the body to life . . . I suppose there isn't really a better word to use than life. Maybe existence is a better term. I think we may already have thread like this, though.

*goes to look . . .*
