So, no I don't think that there are any horcruxes that just "happen" when someone dies.

You're probably right with regard to Lily's death.
But, if HWMNBN was in fact trying to make a Horcrux when he killed Harry (as DD suspected), when the killing went awry the Horcrux spell may have gone awry as well, creating an unintended Horcrux -- maybe trapping the soul fragment in the intended victim. After all, early on DD told Harry that he thought HWMNBN had unknowingly "transferred" some of his power to Harry when he tried to kill him. Was DD on the right path to a Horcrux?
I'm still betting that Harry's scar is the final Horcrux, or is at least the key to the final Horcrux.
