Wild Mass Guessing (that I don't believe in, but would be cool):
When Hermione fought Draco, and cast the Blood-Chilling charm on him with intent to kill, Hat-And-Cloak!Quirrell activated the spell to create a Horcrux of Hermione, which he can now use to blackmail Harry.
That would imply that only an attempted murder can create a horcrux. With the right self-delusion or whatever, one might be able to mass-produce horcruxes and train an army capable of ruthless action at the same time.
Dumbledore believes an actual murder is needed to create a Horcrux. And as far as we know, he is right, unfortunately.
What I'm puzzled by is the paralell between the violent use of magical cooling against Draco & the preservative use of it on Hermione.
