Couldn't the death of Moaning Myrtel have created a Horcrux in one of the
awards (whether the service award or the magical merit award)?  It seems
that a death in Hogwarts would have been necessary to create a Horcrux in
Hogwarts.  The Horcrux in the diary could have been made after Tom left
school because it was in Malfoy's possession and not locked in the trophy
room of the school.  The diary could have been easily created off campus,
but an item in the trophy room *must* have been made within the school as
these items are locked within the trophy room.
