I don't remember but should go back through but others say that 
 when he attempted for a Hogwarts job for a 2nd time that as he 
 left he made a motion of his hand. What if before the "interview" 
 he had killed someone and as he left he used the horcrux "spell" 
 or whatever it was, only nonverbally I'm just assuming, and if he 
 did he knows it's in a safe place because all of the headmasters 
 would protect it.  So, it would be a perfect place for it.

 I could be quite, quite wrong, but I somehow find it odd that Harry would've pulled the sword out of the Sorting Hat if the sword were a Horcrux.  JKR stated that the Hat is not one, as it draws too much attention to itself, and thus I can't imagine the sword being connected to it in any way.  Again, just my opinion here.  Also, I'm wondering if a greater degree of ritual would go into the making of a Horcrux, as opposed to it happening through a nonverbal spell.
