 Your theory of a catacomb of the founders fits well with  the other
 translation of the heiligdom which means "shrine", as shrine can
also be defined as a building or sturcture that house the relic or
bones of a revered or holy person. The way I read the HP books
aren't the 4 founders revered by the WW especially those who goes to
Hogwarts, either studying or teaching or working? That's very good
as I never read yet on any posts that anybody here, aside from you
suggested the  catacombs of the founders, as most of us are going
for the very obvious places. Cheers.

Hello! Newbie, glad to be here.
One of my theories on the title of book 7, HP and the Deathly
Hallows is this.

It refers to Godric's Hollow, the site of Lily and James home where
they were betrayed and killed on Halloween. Perhaps Harry's quest for
the final Horcruxes will lead him to this place and he will be
killed there himself while killing Lord Voldemort. Will Harry
journey there alone? Will he be followed by hidden friends?

To reply regarding the meanings of the words of the title:

the definition of Heiligdom is holy cathedral


from www.dictionary.com
the meaning of hallows
tr.v.   hal·lowed, hal·low·ing, hal·lows
To make or set apart as holy.
To respect or honor greatly; revere.

definition of catacombs
1. Usually, catacombs. an underground cemetery, esp. one consisting
of tunnels and rooms with recesses dug out for coffins and tombs.
2. the Catacombs, the subterranean burial chambers of the early
Christians in and near Rome, Italy.
3. an underground passageway, esp. one full of twists and turns.

definition of cathedral
ca·the·dral
–noun 1. the principal church of a diocese, containing the bishop's
throne.
2. (in nonepiscopal denominations) any of various important
churches.
–adjective 3. pertaining to or containing a bishop's throne.
4. pertaining to or emanating from a chair of office or authority.

Perhaps Harry will wind up in an underground reverent place, maybe
he will be led there through deception (Snape??) and sacrificed? Any
other ideas??

Just my thoughts.
