Horcrux possibility

[Sharon]

No: HPFGUIDX 134675

>>Lorrie: <snip> If Riddles diary was one, and the locket possibly 
another, I assume the award could be as well. Something tangible of 
his still in Hogwarts.


I didn't think of the trophy - but it's a good theory, and I like 
it.  I'm thinking that the last Horcrux might actually be Peter 
Pettigrew's silver hand.  I know it's attached to a living being, but 
it's not actually living itself.  And JKR did say in one of her chats 
that we would be learning more about Peter in the sixth book - yet he 
only appears in 2 pages.  Perhaps what we're learning is the 
importance of Voldy's gift to him.

(This would also explain why we don't see a lot of Peter in either 
OotP or HBP - if Peter really is "holding" one of Voldy's pieces of 
soul, then it would be logical for him not to place himself in 
danger.  And Voldy also says he will reward Peter greatly for the 
service he has rendered in brining Voldy back to life - what a better 
way to reward him than to say, "Here, Pete, it's a bit of my soul, 
keep an eye on that for me, would you?")

But then, I just want Peter to be Redeemed, so I'm sort of biased on 
him.  *grin*
