Matt writes about my list of Horcruxes:

Notes on locket: 
1) Might or might not be an active horcrux.  RAB note says RAB planned
to destroy it.

Note: It is only Dumbledore's speculation that the cup is a horcrux,
though that speculation is at least well-grounded in the reasonably
good evidence that Tom acquired the cup at the same time he acquired
the locket.

I can't remember who suggested it, but the specific speculation was
about the tiara that Harry uses to mark the location of the HBP book
in chapter 24.  There was also more general speculation that one or
more horcruxes -- whatever they are -- might be concealed in this
"Hiding Place" version of the Room of Requirement.

I think I also have read speculation about Tom's award for special
services to the school being a horcrux.

colebiancardi weighs in:
I think it also could be Tom Riddle's Special Award from the School.
The one that Ron had to polish over & over again in CoS, after he
vomited slugs all over it.

Amiable Dorsai:
Revised Horcrux list:

Confirmed and killed:
Tom Riddles diary
The Gaunt ring

Almost certainly a Horcrux, status unknown:
Slytherin's Locket 

Dumbledore's speculation:
Hufflepuff's Cup
Nagini
Something of Ravenclaw's (Tiara?)
Something of Gryffindor's


Fan Speculation: 
Sorting Hat
Sword of Gryffindor
Harry
Harry's scar
Ginny (scotched by JKR--too bad, this was my favorite))
Riddle's Award for Special Service
Tiara in Room of Requirement's hiding place (Ravenclaw's?)
Some other object(s) in the "Hiding Place"

Anything else?

Myself, I think the last Horcrux will turn out to be a stuffed moose
head on the wall of a bar just outside of Hinckley, Ohio.
