I did not know what Chekhov's gun was until the discussion of a few
days ago. Gryffindor's sword would be an odd example of Chekhov's gun
in that it has already been fired in the scene in which it was
introduced. But, I agree we have seen it a little too often for it to
play no further role. Harry's gaze seems to alight on it every time he
visits DD's office. In fact Chekhov seems to have a complete arsenal
to hand in this story: Lily's eyes, the locked door at the DoM,
Neville's cactus, Gryffindor's sword, Dumbledore's gleam, Aragog's
venom, ....
