That pie chart is very cool. I do really like the thought that some of the Horcruxes are stronger than others. And also that Voldemort is practically soulless by the time he's come back in Harry's fourth year. Makes for a much creepier villain.
As for how he made a Horcrux out of Bertha, well, he did have that scary baby monster body that Frank the Muggle saw in the Riddle House before Pettigrew could whip up a nicer-looking body, right? So we can assume he was capable of holding a wand by the time Pettigrew brought him Bertha. And regarding him maybe being too weak to do the magic that is reqired to make a Horcrux (whatever that is), maybe it's got to do with how unstable his soul is. If it was unstable enough to rip apart when Voldemort tried to kill Harry, it's definitely unstable enough for him to easily rip it again when he kills Bertha.
Ha, how gratifying would it be to think that Voldemort probably imagines he's getting more and more powerful with each Horcrux because it's getting easier and easier to make them, when really it's getting easier because he's getting weaker. What a schmuck. :)
