"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."

Well, I don't think so. Two reasons for this.
1) I have no idea where the Horcruxes are from the first book,
the third book and the fourth book...the Mirror can not be a
Horcrux because everyone keeps forgetting, but it's very
important to this idea-
Tom Riddle/Voldemort would hide the items because he obviously
wouldn't want his soul to be destroyed by accident, or put into storage somewhere that he doesn't know where it is. Think about
that locket. How many obsticles did they have to get through to
even get to the locket itself? It won't be as easy as finding the mirror or something...
2) Seven is a magically powerful number-in fact, that's the
reason Riddle chose to have seven Horcruxes and not...seventy-two
or something. Most bording schools (that I know of), start at the
middle school age, which would mean that there are seven more
years of schooling. Nothing else...
The Horcruxes have to have been with Voldemort after he became
the Dark Lord. They would have to be hidden. We probably will not
guess the actual Horcrux-except for the locket, which was most
likely the horcrux that Rowling was talking about when she said
we could find one in the earlier books.
What we can do, however, is wonder where they could be, or who
is the decendant of Gryffindor and Ravenclaw. Isn't anyone a
little curious about that? We know Slytherin and Hufflepuff...I
personally think the Gryffindor decendant is a Weasley. The
whole "seven" thing comes into play again, AND they're all
pureblood, AND they have red hair AND they've all been in
Gryffindor...they also have special relics of olden times, like
the tiara that belonged to Mrs. Weasley's great aunt or something.
