  I've thought along those same lines.  Once Harry put the "tarnished 
  tiara" on the bust of the warlock, I was convinced it would be 
  important again somehow.  I want very badly for it to be the 
  Ravenclaw artifact, but can find nowhere in cannon that describes 
  Rowena wearing a tiara.

  Whats harder to find believable, though, is that LV could find the 
  Ravenclaw artifact, turn it into a Horcrux, and then want to leave it 
  in a room full of junk that others have easy access to.  

  Even if there was a good reason to leave it in the ROR, he would have 
  had to done all this while still a student, which is unlikely.  And, 
  if he did want to plant a Horcrux at Hogwarts, and managed to do so 
  in his interview with DD - wouldn't the Chanber of Secrets have been 
  a much better hiding place than the ROR?

  As for the necklace Horcrux, I'm more inclined to believe the heavy 
  locket at Grimmauld Place is the Slytherin necklace - but if so, I'm 
  a little disappointed that everyone could find the locket, inspect 
  it, try and fail to open it, and through all of that not realize that 
  it had Slytherin's mark on it.



  kchuplis:

  And *I* wonder if Harry will need to go back and get that potions book. Obviously right now he doesn't want to go near it, but if he thinks Snape is the enemy, it's good to know your enemy and that book may hold some keys. I'm expecting *something* because of the very clear detail given in how he marked its location.
