originally--though the idea of Riddle sitting in on the sortings for the last fifty years is a little 
icky."

Morgan here: 
It has been mentioned. I believe that the sword is of more importance. We know that Riddle tried twice to stay at Hogwarts after graduation. I believe that his intention was to use the sword (or maybe even the Sorting Hat) as a horcrux. He was young in one instance of trying to become a teacher, and older in another. On the latter occasion Dumbledore comments  to Harry that LV had already started to lose the human look he once had. I believe that as he stored pieces on his soul in horcruxes his appearance also became less and less human.

I don't think, though, that he ever succeeded in getting to the sword, the Sorting Hat, or Fawkes. I think he was forced to use another object for the horcrux signifying Gryffindor. This was what he was doing the night Harry's parents died. I doubt that object is still in Godcric's Hollow, but you never know.

Whatever did happen to Sirius's motorbike?
