>>I don't think that this locket is the one, since there's no mentioning 
of the any markings on the locket. The Locket in question is supposed to 
have the Slytherin Snake on it, and I hope and think they would pay a 
little more attention to a locket with such an evil brand on it, 
especially if it can't be opened.

CathyD:
I believe the engraving is a "serpentine S" not a snake although my book isn't handy to check that fact.  However, I do know that the S or snake was not described in the initial seeing of the locket either, when Marvolo was draging Merope by the chain to show the locket to Bob Ogden.  

However, even if it did have an engraved Snake on the locket, that house, Grimmauld Place, was full of snake-related stuff.  I think, at the point they found it in the cupboard, it would hardly stand out.
