Horcrux theories/thoughts

Here are some of my thoughts and findings:
   
  Horcruxes | (k) == known, (p) == possible
   
  (k) Gaunt’s ring:  Destroyed by DD, but not before seriously injuring him.  The ring now lies in the Headmaster’s office with the Gem cracked down the middle.
   
  (k) Riddle’s Diary:  Was in the possession of Lucius Malfoy, but was slipped into Ginny’s supplies.  LV was “coming back to life” by leeching off the life of Ginny; this could have been this horcruxes curse since it technically would have taken a life.  It is important to remember that all splinters of LV’s soul seem to have kept his powers and abilities, ie ability to control the Basalisk.  NOTE:  It’s a simple thing, but notice that the Horcruxe isn’t just magically destroyed, but physically as well (fang through the journal and a cracked stone)
   
  (k) Slytherin Locket: The locket which was supposed to be in the cave, but was stolen from the unknown and infamous RAB.  It just came to me, but maybe Regulus is RAB and he did destroy the locket and in turn he was killed in the process.  Maybe LV knew this had happened and it was sent out that Regulus had been killed.  Just a thought.
   
  (p) Hufflepuff Cup: The cup stolen by LV from Hebzibah.  I can’t think of anything that leads me to type of curse or where it is located.  Could Bellatrix have it?  Remember she tells Snape that LV has entrusted her before with his precious possessions in the beginning of the HBP.  He gave Lucius his diary horcrux so why not Bellatrix?
   
  (p) Nagini:  Could Frank Bryce’s death have created the final horcrux?  I mean he was close to his father’s family.  Plus the snake and LV had a close connection especially at that time since it was sustaining his life.  She also is a snake the ultimate symbol of the Slytherin line.  
   
  (p) Harry:  I very much doubt Harry is a Horcrux especially if he was an intentional one because LV tries to kill him in the books unless he doesn’t care about “one measly part of his soul”.  Plus remember the Prophecy “Neither can live while the other survives”.  Though it would be an evil twist to the story if Harry had to die to kill LV. 
   
  (p) Gryffindor item:  We know that LV loved Hogwarts and anything dealing with Hogwarts (ie Hufflepuff cup), but the only items I can think of for G is the Sorting Hat and his sword which are secured in Hogwarts, but we can’t rule these out since we have no proof to prove it nor disprove it.
   
  (p) Ravenclaw item: To my knowledge there are no known relics of Ravenlcaw.  She was only really known for her wisdom and knowledge, but I doubt you can turn that into a Horcrux.  Will Hermione figure it out?
   
  Locations:
   
  Bellatrix:  See Hufflepuff Cup
   
  The Orphanage:  I wonder if he has a Horcrux there since only Muggles and possibly un-educated Wizards are there.  I believe that since the orphanage was a part of his life he would have left something there.  Could one the mystery horcruxes be something that he “obtained” there?  It is possibly the stolen harmonica.
   
  Hogwarts:  With his fixation with Hogwarts would he leave something there believing that DD would be “foolish” enough not to look in his own “house”.
   
  Misc:
   
  Moaning Myrtle:  Even though the Basalisk technically killed her, would her death, an important death in Hogwarts history, have created the first Horcrux?
