Valky:
This is very interesting. And I think that there is something that we
should note bout Voldemorts Horcruxes as opposed to the Four Houses at
Hogwarts as they were set up by JKR.

The Four Houses - 
Slytherin - Water - Cups
Gryffindor - Fire - Wands
Hufflepuff - Pentacles - Earth
Ravenclaw - Air - Sword

The Founders Objects as Jujube suggests -
Slytherin Pendant - Pentacle - Earth
Gryffindor Sword - Sword - Air
Hufflepuff Chalice - Cup - Water
Ravenclaw Wand  - Wand - Fire

Voldemorts Horcruxes -
Slytherin Pendant - Pentacle - Earth
Gryffindor ?...? - Sword/Wand - Air/Fire
Hufflepuff Chalice - Cup - Water
Ravenclaw ?...? - Sword/Wand - Air/Fire

We do seem to have a wand belonging in The Ravenclaw position. Equally
interesting is that I have seen it suggested that the Horcruxes of
Voldemort also look very much like the Egyptian parts of the soul.
Different accounts of this have different numbers of parts to each,
some 5 some 7 and some 9. Those that count seven look a bit like this:

1) The Khat, which most of us simply call the physical body.

Is Voldemorts own body

2) The Ba, the soul of breath.

Is the Ring.

3) The Khaba sometimes known as Ib or Jb. The emotional Body (the heart)
Is the Locket.

4) The Khaibit, the intellectual body.
Is the Diary. 

5) The Ka, the spiritual Self, or Higher Mind.
I guessed earlier The Hufflepuff Cup.

6) The Sekhen, the Super-consciousness.
I guessed earlier The Ravenclaw Object

7) The Ren, the Pure Spirit, The Name.
I also guessed earlier to be Nagini.

The interesting thing about that is the Sekhen, which I guessed to be
the Ravenclaw Object, is symbolised by a Staff. (Staffs, Wands, Clubs,
and Batons are all interchangeable terms for the same part of the
Tarot Deck)so IMO jujube could *Really* be onto something here.. 

While we are on the Egyptian mythology the ren (Name) is said to kept
secret, because those who discover it can use it to undo the creation
of this soul. And the Name Nagini is similar to the name Netjer, which
is the Egyptian One God. That could be exactly the kind of secret name
that someone like Voldemort would use to crown his final immortality.
So in a way it fits since Nagini is supposed to be Voldemorts last and
ultimate Horcrux of his six. 

The Egyptian Mythology goes on and on with possibilities, thousands of
them. So this conjecture may not lead anywhere at all. I just thought
I'd mention it though.
