I agree. And, note also, that The Diary, Nagini and the Locket, are
all partially revealed for the first time *prior* to Harry's return to
Hogwarts

The Diary - In Flourish and Blotts Book2
Nagini - Little Hangleton Book4
The Locket - Grimmauld Place Book5
The Ring - On Dumbledore's Hand Book6

This would place a partial reveal of the Book1 Horcrux, in Diagon
Alley. IMO this one really could be already found by clever listees
here, in Ollivanders shop. I am pretty sold on that myself.
and the Book3 Horcrux too should be revealed in some part of the Leaky
Cauldron, Florean Fortescues, or the Magical Menagerie or even in the
Daily Prophet or on the Knight bus!! phew LOL good luck hunting
through that lot for it. <g> I think that this one is supposed to be
very well hidden.

Lets not write off the trophy cabinet quite yet, I think it might
still come into play. Here are some more observations in agreement
with the pattern that you're talking about.

The pattern continues into second time in each book that we seem to be
getting a sniff of the hidden Horcrux. It usually happens around the
midwinter of the books.. Observe:

The Diary - Harry gets a hold of it shortly after Christmas/COS
Nagini - There is a reference made to Voldies Snake around
Christmastime again, can't look it up sorry, Don't have book so I am
recalling from memory, correct me if I am wrong.
The Locket - We see Kreachers Lair with shiny objects retrieved from
the Drawing room in it, again at Christmas time.
The Ring - The pattern deviates here, but I suspect that this is in
keeping with the pattern. The next time we see the ring is just prior
to October, and Dumbledore says, the Ring is no longer a Horcrux. 

The second half of the pattern seems to work for known Horcruxes, but
what about our speculative ones? 

Ollivanders and wands are not mentioned around Christmas time in PS/SS
as far as I can find, but I am still looking.  

In POA Harry's midwinter is spent learning the Patronus, and obsessing
over his Firebolt and the Quidditch cup, there's hints about the Time
Turner and Lupins Werewolf affliction, some Fire Salamanders and
Divination Lessons too.. The best match I can find with the beginning
of the book is the Divination lessons - Harry reads the covers of some
interesting books on Divination in Diagon Alley. 

OTOH things do look good for the Quidditch Cup which is mentioned in
both sections of the book, although that's hardly unusual, its still a
match.
