I've scanned the posts today (so hard to keep up) and seen people
speculating on what the remaining Horcruxes really are, where they
are, etc. I'd like to see what everyone thinks the remaining Horcruxes
are. Yes I know we're "told" what Hufflepuff, Slytherin, and
Gryffindor's Horcruxes are, but we all know that JKR doesn't always
tell us the full truth. 

When I was in the chat over the weekend, we talked about the Horcruxes
as representing the values of houses (forget who mentioned it first or
I'd give you credit, sorry).  

Slytherin values prestige and wealth, so a locket makes sense. If, as
people speculate, it isn't a locket, I'd still say there is a good
chance that it is some time of valuable object. It would be something
that is a sign of wealth and power - what about that snuff box the
group also found while cleaning out 12 Grimmauld Place.

Gryffindor values bravery, so it seems logical that it is indeed
Godric's sword. I can't imagine it being anything else other than the
sword, so I'm open to other speculation on the topic.

Hufflepuff values friendship and loyalty, so the cup doesn't make too
much sense to me. What does a cup have to do with friendship and
loyalty. Also keep in mind that it's Harry that seizes on the cup
idea, so it's entirely possible that he could be wrong. 

Ravenclaw values knowledge. No Horcrux is mentioned for them, so this
one is a completely open field. As they value knowledge, perhaps a
book is possible? I saw the sorting hat tossed up as a potential
horcrux, perhaps a hat embodied with knowledge of the founders could
be the horcrux for Ravenclaw (I know it was Godric's hat, but I can't
see the hat as bravery).

We know the Gryffindor sword is at Hogwarts (which means Harry will be
at Hogwarts for at least part of his journey in book 7, regardless of
what he said). Do we know where the Hufflepuff cup is? If we do, I
must have skimmed over that part of the book (tends to happen at 3am).
 I submit that the Ravenclaw book is also at Hogwarts, in the
restricted section somewhere. Perhaps a book we've already seen before
(ugh that means another re-read of the whole series!). The Slytherin
locket I would imagine to be at 12 Grimmauld place if RAB is Regulus
Black (unless Dung  or Kreacher made off with it of course), but if
it's Borgin or Burke, perhaps it's at Borgin and Burke's.
