Geoff:
Like many topics surfacing in the absolute flood of messages after HBP 
arrived, this one has been touched on before.

Back in message 134623, the question of the trophy was brought up - the 
thread being similarly named "Horcrux Possibilty" and I found the 
relevant quote and posted it in message 134651.

The interesting thought this message brought back to me today is that 
there is also mention of a /medal/ in the trophy room. So there are two 
possible ocations for a Horcrux if Tom Riddle decided to leave one at 
Hogwarts.
