> 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.
