Jul 25, 2018 at 7:23 comment added Chronocidal @Abless It might mean that he told the inner circle "I have made preparations that prevent my death, but I might need a new body creating. Malfoy, you get this diary - give it to a victim, and the diary will do the rest. Crouch, here's an obscure ritual to remake my body." etc - they all know he has taken steps, and that those include giving out items and instructions, but they don't necessarily know all the steps.
Jul 24, 2018 at 20:32 comment added user3067860 @Jake has it--knowing that someone created horcruxes is different from knowing how they did it (or even what items they used--per Lucias giving away the diary in Chamber of Secrets).

Jul 24, 2018 at 16:50 comment added Jake @Abless A quirk of the English is in the interpretation. "The steps I took" could mean "Step 1: Created Horcrux #1" or "Step 1: I began by preparing X,Y, Z so that when I killed a guy . . .", it could even be "Step 1: I did a thing to not die" So in that spirit, this answer is most likely correct.

Jul 24, 2018 at 15:25 comment added miken32 @Abless you should put the details from your comment here into your question, it would make a stronger argument.
Jul 24, 2018 at 15:18 comment added Jenayah @Abless Voldemort is back from the (simili-)dead, and he's pissed at his guys not having put much more faith into looking for him. At this point, he's more throwing blames to scare them off, bragging about how he was always above actual death. This is your boss saying "We both know I screwed up, but you're only a minion hence the fault is yours even if you had no idea in the world how to prevent it."
Jul 24, 2018 at 15:17 comment added Valorum @Abless - They knew he took steps. Presumably they didn't know what steps, noting that his return is largely a myth until it actually happens
Jul 24, 2018 at 15:07 comment added Abless In GOF, Voldemort says "And then I ask myself, but how could they have believed I would not rise again? They, who knew the steps I took, long ago, to guard myself against mortal death?" Note he does not say "They who knew I took steps..." which could imply that they didn't know what steps he took. How it's worded strongly suggests that the steps he took were known to his Death Eaters (certainly at least to Regulus).
