How about the Mirror of Erised being a Horcrux itself? JKR did say in
one of her interviews that careful readers who re-read the previous
books should have picked up on at least another Horcrux. I'm sure that
  we have to go to the previous books to pick up all the clues. 

Even Dumbledore tells Harry that the Mirror of Erised is a object of
magical power. The giveaway in my opinion, is the two clawed feet on
which the mirror stands. I don't have my book in front of me so i
don't know the exact quote, but i don't think JKR would put it in for
no reason. This leads me to think of the mirror as the Ravenclaw
heirloom. Moaning Myrtle, i believe, was also in Ravenclaw's house.
Could her death be the one that Tom Riddle uses to create that
Horcrux? I want to say that because it would be hard for Voldemort to
create a Horcrux out of osmething that resided in Hogwarts unless he
was at Hogwarts at the time. The Diary Horcrux could have be created
anytime and given to Lucius Malfoy. There is an article on Mugglenet
that explains the whole theory much better than i did i believe. What
does Voldemort see when he looks in the mirror? Most likely himself
immortal. Well he's a step closet by making a Horcrux out of it. 

Now that we have seemed to discover a Horcrux from every book, do you
think that JKR delibertly placed one horcrux in each book? I haven't
had time to review the third and fourth book, but it seems that the
first, second, fifth, and sixth all have a Horcrux mentioned in them.
I don't think it's a coincidence that there are 7 books, and 7 Horcruxes. 

Feel free to respond!
