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?

Rachel: 
I think this is a really good idea. There are not many items that 
JKR has referred to which can have belonged to Godric Gryffindor. 
Godric's Hollow would be something that JKR would have Voldemort use 
as the horcrux because it's not as obvious as Godric Gryffindor's 
sword, but it's still a clue which she has laid out for us to pick 
up in the books.
