I believe moonmyyst was suggesting that the sword was the horcrux that 
Voldemort intended to make with Harry's death, but failed because 
Harry did not die. So, not a horcrux when it destroys the diary.  As 
moonmyyst suggests, the sword could have been returned to DD, who has 
kept it safe ever since.  It is surprising though that since Harry is 
well aware of the sword's existence, DD did not mention to him that it 
had in fact been an intended horcrux; that makes me think either the 
sword was not the object in question, or DD did not want Harry to ask 
who it was who was at GH, and retrieved it after Voldemort's 
vapourisation.
