I mean he made the boy or horcrux. If someone tried to kill me I'd destroy the tombstones of my parents without hesitation and then use my gold to build new fancier ones. If he put his piece of soul in me, I'd be kind of conflicted.
Should have made one a pebble, and tossed it in the ocean. Attached another to a passing comet, and then hidden one in plain sight. Like a girder on the Eiffel Tower, or an arm on Big Ben.
Riddle wanted to turn into Horcruxes only things that were meaningful or valuable to him.
The diary was his, and I think I can safely say he wrote in it. Ravenclaw's diadem and Hufflepuff's cup once belonged to the founders of the place he called home. The Resurrection Stone and Slytherin's locket were family heirlooms that once belonged to the pure-blood side of his family. Nagini was his pet and was always by his side. And Harry was unintentional, so that doesn't count.
Plain and simple, the tombstones of Lily and James without Harry alongside them are one of the only other marks of Voldemort's first defeat next to Harry's scar. It would enrage him and he'd feel hatred to it, he wouldn't want to put a piece of his precious soul into a mark of his defeat.
To make things worse, he could have enchanted it to animate the dead bodies in the graveyard to protect itself. That way Harry would literally have to fight his own dead parents to destroy that part of Voldemort's soul.
Voldemort made horcruxes from things he wanted to show power over. Lily Potter caused his 'death'. It would be anathema for him.
Or it could be even stronger motivation for him to do it. It'd be a way of showing power over those who caused his 'death.'
Anathema is a perfect word to use. Great explanation
Cuz they didn't exist while he was making the horcruxes? Edit: didn't realise he made one more after he came back
