So wait. Voldemort intended to split himself into six horcruxes + himself, but inadvertantly split into seven + himself? And for all of book 7 both Harry and Voldy think there are a grand total of six horcruxes when there are seven, right? I could've sworn that some variation of the phrase "we must destroy the seven horcruxes" was used quite a few times throughout the book.
Or wait, maybe Harry and the gang just went into the final battle not knowing where/what the final horcrux was? But why did they even know there were seven when Voldy only thought there were six? Did Dumbledore just troll Harry? "Oh yeah, he totally would intentionally 100% create seven horcruxes because seven is a powerful magic number for some reason. Disregard the fact that he'd actually be splitting himself into eight pieces, you're just not as smart as I am."
Man, it's a shame all the plot mechanics of the seventh book are so dumb. It's pretty good, discounting the horcruxes and hallows.
