I'd like to bring together two separate lines of thinking about one 
of the horcruxes.

First, there's been much discussion about which relic of Godric 
Gryffindor is a horcrux - the Sorting Hat or the sword.

Second, lots of debate over whether Harry could be a horcrux, or 
whether his scar is a horcrux.

Let's combine those two theories:  Perhaps LV placed a horcrux in 
Harry because Harry *is* the relic of Godric Gryffindor.  We know 
that he and both of his parents are in Gryffindor House.  We know 
that his parents lived in Godric's Hollow, which I believe JKR 
connected with Godric Gryffindor in one of her interviews (just my 
memory, I don't have a source to attribute).  JKR also said on her 
website, in her discussion of the terms half-blood and pure-blood, 
that "Harry would be considered only 'half' wizard, because of his 
mother's grandparents."  The conclusion I draw from that comment is 
that James and his family were pure-bloods.  I don't have my copy of 
HBP at hand, but I think there was confirmation of that.  Perhaps the 
Potters are descended directly from Godric Gryffindor?

This thought had been floating around in my head for awhile, and was 
reinforced by a quotation that rtbthw_mom pulled from COS, p.311 in 
an earlier message today:

"Well, you see, Ginny told me all about you, Harry," said
Riddle. "Your whole *fascinating* history." His eyes roved over
the lightning scar on Harry's forehead, and their expression grew
hungrier. "I knew I must find out more about you, talk to you, meet
you if I could."
