I could be wrong but I assume that that is the Hogwarts Trophy Room. 
I doubt that the names shown are for those who are either injured or 
dead. They are just Hogwarts students who won awards during their 
school years. Frank and Alice Longbottom were renown aurors before 
the attack that left them mad. Tom Riddle was a genius of a student 
who won an award for special service to the school for turning in 
Hagrid (tho we know what really happened), and he was Headboy. Percy 
was also Headboy, and may have won other academic awards as well 
(since he did get 12 OWLS). Harry won the special service to the 
school award in rescuing Ginny from the Chamber of Secrets in his 
second year. Lily Evans was an exceptional potion student (according 
to Slug). Sirius and James were the brightest students around in 
their days (per McGonnagal in PoA), and James was a winning 
Gryffindor seeker. I don't know about Bellatrix, but she is no 
shabby witch either, having out dueled and killed Sirius in OotP 
despite having been in Azkaban for years... so she might have been a 
great student too.

As to the Gryffindor sword being made into a horcrux in Dumbledore's 
presence. Really, how likely is that? DD is supposed to be the only 
one LV ever feared, the genius of his generation, the wizard who 
could detect traces of unseen magic placed to protect horcruxes 
years after the act, the mindreader whom LV had a hard time 
occlumensing against... And yet LV sat there and made a horcrux out 
of the Gryffindor sword all undetected right in front of Dumbledore? 
Sometimes a twitch is just a twitch, you know.

CH3ed :O)
