Fantastic post!! My major problem with it is that the ring and the 
locket were both hidden in places that were symbolic to Voldemort and 
were protected by powerful magic. If he had managed to get hold of 
Ravenclaw's wand, how and why would he leave it with Ollivander? He 
clearly doesn't want anyone to know about his Horcruxes, so it seems 
unlikely that he would confide in Ollivander.

If we are considering Tarot cards;

The High Priestess, or Female Pope. A woman crowned with a high mitre 
or TIARA (her head encircled by a veil), a stole (or a solar cross) 
upon her breast, and the Book of Science open in her hand. She 
represents Science, Wisdom, or Knowledge (i.e. RAVENCLAW).

Harry places a TIARA on top of an old bust as a means to refind his 
potions book in the Room of Requirement. Therefore it is possible 
that VOldemort HAS placed one of his Horcruxes in the Room of 
Requirement!!
