CH3ed:
I have no idea. It would seem that if the Mirror of Erised is 
housing a piece of LV's soul it should have helped LV/Quirrell find 
the philosopher's stone in book 1, ay?

"Moaning Myrtle, i believe, was also in Ravenclaw's house.
Could her death be the one that Tom Riddle uses to create that
Horcrux?" <snip>

CH3ed:
I missed any clues about which house Myrtle belonged to altogether. 
Now I'll have to snatch back my copy of CoS to re-read for it. :O) 
Anyhow, I don't think Myrtle's death was used to make a Horcrux. LV 
didn't learn how to make one until later (he was older during the 
Horcrux chat with Slug). Also Myrtle wasn't someone LV would 
consider significant (being a "mudblood" and all.

" Now that we have seemed to discover a Horcrux from every book, do 
you think that JKR deliberately 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." <snip> 


CH3ed:
Hey! That's quite a thought. Just something JKR would do. The trick 
is if she had done that she didn't identify them as DD did in HBP 
(Hufflepuff's cup, Slytherine's locket, etc). Now I've got to re-
read all the books. Thanks for the suggestion! :O)

CH3ed is wishing for a long Christmas vacation so there would be 
time to do other things beside re-reading all the books. Wish I know 
a wizard I can bum a time-turner from. ;O)
