What does free will have to do with it?

Does that mean that the living thing can at some point reject the soul
fragment based on its own free will?

Since a Horcrux is really only a container for a soul fragment - what
else would that mean?

That a being with free will might choose to die, rather than carry such
an evil thing, rendering it useless.

Or that could do stupid things and got him/herself killed and/or
destroyed.

Or even get Hermione to do some serious research to
find out the complicated spell that will *expel* a
the soul bit from a living being.
