> 4. Ron vomited slugs all over it. It made him sick. (Note also that
Ron was very apprehensive about the diary as well, and the comment that
the trophy was given for killing Moaning Myrtle.) This can be read that
the Myrtle death fueled the Horcrux in the trophy. Also, Slugs -
Slughorn.

Yes - those were my reasons for suggesting the award. I'm not sure
that the murder of Myrtle allowed this object to become a Horcrux; I
guess I assumed that her murder allowed the diary to become a Horcrux.
I never made the association with the slugs and Slughorn. That's
clever, whether or not it's itentional. Didn't I read somewhere that
JKR said that all the horcruxes have been mentioned in the previous
books. Or am I making this up? I know that DD says in COS that the
sword (and I guess Sorting Hat) was the only remaining relic of
Gryffindor. I can't think of any mention of anything from Rowena
Ravenclaw.
