Lyra now
Perhaps I'm jumping to conclusions, but I feel this statement from 
JKR's recent interview may be related in some way (tho how is another 
question).

JKR: My feeling is that Phoenix is overlong, but I challenge anyone 
to find the obvious place to cut. There are places that I would 
prune, now, looking back, but ...(short snip) You need what's in 
there if I'm going to play fair for the reader in the resolution in 
book seven. One of the reasons "Phoenix" is so long is that I
had
to move Harry around a lot, physically. There were places he had to 
go he had never been before, and that took time — to get him
there, to get him away. (end of her comment)

So, she seems to indicate that some place Harry went in OOTP will be 
relevant in #7. The "new" places I recall him going to are: #12 
Grimmauld; the Ministry of Magic (includng the DoM); St. Mungo's; and 
some places in Hogsmeade, where The Hogs Head would seem to be the 
most interesting/likely candidate of the lot (somehow, I can't 
imagine revisiting Madame Puddifoot's in the resolution). 

Of course, the fact that someplace from OOTP will be relevent in the 
next book doesn't mean it will be the location of a horcrux, but to 
be thorough, I thought they should be mentioned and given at least a 
cursory examination.
