Supposedly Regulus had been a Death Eater, so maybe he learned some of Voldemort's tricks that way.

I don't think it's likely that Hermione and Snape would get together, but I suppose the facts that (a) they are both alive, and (b) Snape might be good after all, make it a possibility, though remote. I think Hermione should stay with Ron though.

Determining what the intended horcrux was might require knowing how the horcrux spell is done, but I suspect there's a clue in book 1 chapter 1.

The sorting hat was considering putting Harry in Slytherin way back when.... could be an indicator of some Voldemort in him. We already know the scar gave them some sort of connection; maybe the soul piece thing is the reason.

On the other hand, "neither can live while the other survives" would seem to counter the idea of Harry the horcrux -- if Harry's a horcrux, Voldemort cannot die while Harry survives.

Notice that she doesn't use the word "live" twice. Harry survived; some of Voldemort's vital essence is trapped inside Harry, so Voldemort can't truly live again until that essence is released. That's why Voldemort needs Harry to be killed in a sacrificial kind of way.
