And now Richelle:

Unless Dumbledore was wrong, the only item that belonged to Gryffindor is 
safely in his office--the sword. (Though what about the Sorting Hat?) 
According to Dumbledore, the 7 parts of Voldemort's soul are in:

1. Riddle's Diary (destroyed)
2. Slytherin's ring (destroyed)
3. Slytherin's locket (missing, possibly in Grimmauld Place)
4. Hufflepuff's Cup (goodness knows where)
5. An item that was either Ravenclaw's or Gryffindor's (if there's an 
unknown out there somewhere)
6. Nagini
7. Voldemort himself

The first two are taken care of, the third could be the easiest, if it's 
really the locket in Grimmauld Place.  The fourth is difficult because, 
unless I missed it, there's no clue as to where it is.  The fifth, well, we 
don't even know _what_  is, let alone where it is (unless it ends up being 
in Harry in some strange way, but every time I think that's possible I find 
a dozen more reasons it can't be).  The sixth and seventh should be near 
each other, and the last to destroy.

Problem is, how is a Horcrux destroyed anyway?  Dumbledore never explained 
that.  Hermione's already checked in books, it's not there.  Sure, Harry 
managed to inadvertantly destroy the one in Riddle's Diary, but it's not 
like he'll have a Basilisk fang handy to stab the others with.  The only 
thing I can figure out is that Dumbledore could've left Harry his Pensieve 
with the memory of how he destroyed the Horcrux in the ring.
