[Harry Potter] Are there 8 little maimed baby Voldermorts in the afterlife? and other related questions

When Harry dies and goes to Kings Cross Station, he is not the only one there. There is also the last part of Voldemort, the size and shape of a child, and he looks flayed, bloody and pitiful. So does this mean that in the afterlife there are 7 more of these disgusting pieces of soul? I was unsure if destroying a Horcrux destroyed the soul, or just killed the container, allowing the piece of soul to move 'on' to the afterlife.

I also want to know, is this soul of Voldemorts which we see in the heavenly train station the bit of soul which was just destroyed by Voldemort himself, or is it the last remaining part of Voldemort still tethered to earth? Which leads me to my final question. If this piece of soul in the train station is in fact the last remaining piece of soul still tethered to earth, does that mean that Voldemort heard everything that Dumbledore explained to Harry?

No, this is explained by Hermione. A person's defining characteristic is that they have an eternal soul that transcends the death of the body. For your soul, your body is but a temporary vessel. But a Horcrux is the polar opposite of a human being: its soul piece is completely dependent on the vessel and cannot exist without it.

Destroying the Horcrux destroys the soul piece. It's completely annihilated.

The mangled figure we see in limbo is Voldemort's soul, mangled as it is. It's the one in his body. It was probably too damaged to understand what was going on, but it certainly picked up something was wrong.
