The Ring and the necklace...

Probably asking more questions here than posting theories...

1. After Dumbledore died, what happened to the Gaunt's ring? Will it
have any significance to further developments? I doubt it, but it
seemed funny that he felt compelled to wear it when he picked harry
up from the Dursley's in THBP. I wonder that, even if it was
shattered, did it offer some sort of protection, or why would he wear
it?

2. What happened to the necklace that Katie Bell touched? I know it
was delivered to DD, but I think there is still a place for it to re-
emerge in book 7.

3. It's well established that Harry will probably speak to Mundungus
in book 7....but I'm interested to find what happened during the
conversation Mundungus had with "the tall thin barender" immediately
preceeding his encounter with Harry. Assuming the bartender is indeed
DD's brother, I would bet that at some time Harry speaks to him to
find clues as to  where Dung is hiding. Can't wait to read the
chapter when he finds him!

4. How much, exactly, is Kreacher under Harry's control? Since the
Kreacher had a habit of hauling items back to his lair, I wonder what
else he might have hidden from the OOTP? I know if Kreacher was at
the Black residence, Mundungus probably wouldn't have been able to
make off with any of the black heirlooms.

5. Finally, I think that the dissapearance of Olivander will come
into play- the DE's wouldn't have nicked him just to hold him
prisoner...

Just thoughts-
