I was reading the interview with JK and the Leaky Cauldron and 
Mugglenet founders yesterday 
(http://www.mugglenet.com/jkrinterview.shtml). It struck me that JK 
said, "Well, I'm prepared to bet you now, that at least before the 
week is out, at least one of the Horcruxes will have been correctly 
identified by careful re-readers of the books."

I thought about it basically all night.  ^_^;;  I kept asking 
myself, what objects did LV have before he killed Harry's parents? 
One thing that kept jumping into my mind was his wand. The more I 
thought about it, the more intrigued I was. His body was destroyed 
the night he killed the Potters. (The house was also destroyed for 
some odd reason that we still don't know about, but that's for 
another post ~_^) So his wand must've been lost somewhere in the 
rubble of the Potter's home. Yet, by the end of book 4, LV has his 
wand back. Who got it for him? And why? You would think LV was 
powerful enough to use any wand, why have one of his followers risk 
their lives and to get that wand? Perhaps because the wand was a 
horcrux.

I think there's also a possibility that LV's wand might be somehow 
tied to the founders, in this case probably even Ravenclaw. I would 
bet that Fawkes was alive during the founding of Hogwarts, and he 
could've given his two feathers back then. Or, maybe he gave one 
feather back then (for Ravenclaw's/Voldy's wand) and then given a 
second feather much later, perhaps after LV's first defeat (for 
Harry's wand).

Interesting about Ollivander's disappearance! I interpreted it as JK 
giving us clues as to what one of the Horcruxes might be.
