Quite a few items had a snake imprinted on it at the Black House and 
I don't think that they were paying that much attention to what  
were handling.  Does anyone beside DD really know what Slytherin's 
mark is?  Kreacher or Mundungus have the locket I'm sure.  RAB took 
it home with him and was killed before he could destroy it.

I agree we'll see the Chamber of Secrets again too.  At least one 
horcrux is there and probably one in the ROR as well.  Tom Riddle/LV 
knew that no one goes snooping through the ROR where people hide 
things - they hide them and get out ASAP just like Harry did.

What do you think Moaning Myrtle knows?  She was a classmate of Tom 
Riddle and I bet had a crush on him as she did on Harry and Draco.  
She spied on Cedric - she probably spies on a few boys.  We know she 
can go wherever the plumbing can take her.  She likes to be needed 
and she likes the boys - I think we'll see more of her in Book 7 
too.  And what did she do at Olive Hornby's brother's wedding that 
was so awful that the MOM got involved?  Just wondering.
