I'd actually say that the passage quoted makes the horcrux theory marginally less likely. Wouldn't a horcrux be more universal?
And the reason for downvotes is generally some combination of overconfidence, poor thought, and rudeness. You've managed the first two fairly well, and so -6. Or -7, rather.
I agree with this. A horcrux would be more like a separate internal agent with its own goals, and less like a pattern of behavior.
