This seems viable. The line immediately preceding:
For I would never want you to be deprived of Hermione Granger’s counsel and restraint, not ever while the stars yet live.
This strongly suggests to me that he wanted to make Granger a horcrux (as in, a horcrux for Granger). This helps to pattern match with ‘practising being nice’ but as before, we meet the same confusion: If Voldemort is going to kill HP, why is he trying to make Hermione invincible?
At least if this all ends well, Hermione really will be the stand-out witch of her generation. And the next.
