I too have been wondering what or whom could the
Halllows refer to.

I am letting my ideas run wild here.....
I think a 'Hallow' is something a wizard/ witch would
try to protect/ make pure even at the cost of their
life. This may mean transferring their whole souls
into that object.
I think this is a direct opposite of the horcrux.
Just like voldemort made horcruxes, we are seeing that
Harry has had many saviours- who transformed to many
Hallows. we can see this from James, Lily, Cedric,
Sirius, Dumbledore- (and maybe Hagrid, Pettigrew or
Snape in 7th book); who all died protecting harry. I
think Harry would surely have been killed if they had
not laid down their lives- though this does not take
anything away from Harry's heroics.
I think the 7th book will be about Harry reliving the
lives of his Hallows, and realizing how he has been
saved rather than hunting voldemort's horcruxes. That
realization itself will empower him to fight/ kill
voldemort more than anything else. And that's why he
has to start from where it all began- at Godric's
Hollow.
And maybe each of his Hallows have been able to
neutralize atleast one of voldemort's horcrux. We see
Lily's sacrifice taking one voldemort out and the
blood weakening another, Dumbledore took out ring
horcrux, maybe Sirius and Regulus were together on the
locket horcrux. Maybe Harry himself will take out the
last evil horcrux out and voldemort will be a good man
again.
