Julia here:
Some random thoughts about the ring (and those hands which appear in 
the screensaver along with the ring):
First of all - I think that it is a crest of Slytherin "in" this 
ring. Dont know why Slytherin's but that's my guess.

It's black which reminds me of something dead, not alive any more or 
just destroyed and without any power left. 

The crack on it in the shape of lighting bolt can be a connection to 
Harry and the events in GH - the crack might have appeared exactly 
then! But at the same time it can be just a coincidence cause cracks 
on various things almost always are in that shape. It could also be 
destroyed on purpose - maybe it was some kind of a seal that was 
broken (you know, something like the one that Pope owns - it's made 
when the new Pope is elected and broken when he dies...)

I think that this ring can be HBP's and the other hand (one belongs 
to Harry) might be the hand of HBP's too. Which would mean that HBP 
is a Slytherin... 

Maybe the secret of the ring is one of the secrets that lie in the 
Chamber of Secrets (which makes it connected to Slytherin)

My another idea is that it's a ring which belongs to Salazar 
Slytherin and was broken when the last descendant of Slytherin 
died...

I'm also wondering what powers (if any!) has this ring. The 
screensaver suggest that the ring is a 'cause' of what happens with 
the two hands. Maybe it is a source of the ancient magic, or dark 
magic?It might be helpful for Harry to become more powerful or be 
one of the most desirable things for Voldemort...
I dont know... so many possibilities :D
What do you think?
