Horcrux? Sorting Hat?

Please forgive me if this has been mentioned before and I do not have 
my books with me.

I believe it is in Book 6 when it was stated that the only thing left 
of Godric Gryffindor's at Hogwarts is his sword. I believe that the 
sorting hat also belonged to him. Remember when in one of the sorting 
ceremonies, the song was telling the tale of how it was created. It 
stated that Gryffindor pulled the hat from his head, created the 
sorting hat to be able select students for their houses.

Is it possible that the sorting hat is a horcrux?  Or just a prized 
possession for The Dark Lord to to covet?
