I like the idea that there is a horcrux hidden in the Chamber of 
Secrets.  It is a great hiding spot, it is somewhere significant to 
Tom Riddle, it has a connection to the school's founders, you have to 
be a parseltongue to get in, and the Basalisk is down there to kill 
anyone who might threaten the horcrux.  I would really enjoy seeing 
Harry return to the spot of one of his early adventures, now that he 
has changed and grown up so much.

Didn't Dumbledore say that Voldemort intended that the diary horcrux 
be used for reopening the Chamber at some point?  (Forgive me and 
correct me if I am remembering someone's theory as cannon).  That is 
the one reason I think the Chamber might be an unlikely spot for 
another horcrux.  If the diary horcrux was intended to "go with" the 
Chamber of Secrets, then he might not want to hide a second horcrux 
there.  He probably wouldn't want to put two of his seven eggs in one 
basket.

Maybe the diary was supposed to be hidden in the chamber, and 
Voldemort hadn't gotten a chance to hide it there yet.
