Default Voldemort's Soul only has 1/64th of his soul!
Let me explain:
When Voldemort created his first Horcrux, he ripped his soul in half. Fair enough. So, one half goes into the Horcrux, whilst the other half stays in Voldemort. When he creates the next Horcrux.. he rips his soul in half again. Okay.. except he only had half a soul inside him at the time. So the fragment going into the Horcrux is actually only a quarter of his original soul, and the part now residing in his body is also only a quarter. So, the Horcruxes would contain fragments of the following sizes:
Horcrux 1: 1/2 of Voldemort's soul
Horcrux 2: 1/4 of Voldemort's soul
Horcrux 3: 1/8 of Voldemort's soul
Horcrux 4: 1/16 of Voldemort's soul
Horcrux 5: 1/32 of Voldemort's soul
Horcrux 6: 1/64 of Voldemort's soul

Which would mean that the fragment residing in Voldemort's body is also only 1/64 of his original soul. That's pathetic! But I feel a serious application of this theory might be in determining why Dumbledore almost died from destroying one Horcrux, whilst Harry got rid of another with relative ease. This might be helpful for Harry in figuring out what order Voldemort created his Horcruxes in; and it might help him identify likely objects.
This would explain why he is snakelike in appearance now.

Maybe... but, Harry destroyed the one with half. I think it was because Dumbledore put the ring on while it carried a curse, but the diary didn't have a curse on it... at least, not like the ring did.

Yes...but which one had half? The Locket maybe? Because that actually screamed, while the others it was only really a faint cry. I think even Ron heard it scream.

I though the first one made was the diary, because it had the teenage Riddle in it. I swear it says somewhere that that was the first... he didn't have the locket or cup until later... or the diadem...

I agree with ^, although I'm not entirely sure...I also think that the ring had a curse on it, didn't it?

yup...thats what made Dumbledore's hand go black in the 6th book...because he put the ring on and used it. He completely forgot that it was now a Horcrux and would carry a curse and used it to try and see his family.

I agree-DD was in awe at having found another hallow! Seeing the stone on the ring, he forgot what he was dealing with...

I like this thread, I'd never thought of the breakdown of Voldy's soul....
