Could the GH house itself have been Godric Gryffindor's actual home 
at one time?  Couldn't the house have been the intended Horcrux and 
subsequently failed to keep that fragment of LV's soul inside?   
Wouldn't it be like Lord Voldemort to covet it if he knew it were 
Godric Gryffindor's ancestral home? And wouldn't it be like JKR to 
put a major Horcrux in plain sight?

Hum..  I like the idea of the house being the house of GG. Maybe it 
has been in DD's family. Maybe it was the site of the Order's 
headquarters back then. It would make sense that the Order would 
meet at Albus's place. Maybe the Potter's were in hiding there just 
as Sirius was at his own home later.

This would explain a lot of the unexplainable questions folks here 
have had. "How did DD know so soon?", for example. Course it causes 
more problems too. Why would the Order's headquarters be in the 
obvious place. When whould the headquarters have been changed if 
Sirius were arrested just after the house was distroyed. But it does 
make one wonder, where is the old family home of all of the founders?
