CV: I believe you are the first one to guess the sword, although you
craftily hedged your bet with other Gryffindor pointy things.

There is a very good indicator why the sword is likely. On JKR's
website, the last three months' Wizard of the Month have been
founders. Each founder has been shown with a twinkly artifact. Helga
Hufflepuff has a twinkly cup, Salazar Slytherin has a twinkly locket.
Both are highly likely to be horcruxes. Gryffindor's twinkly object is
his sword. Why are we all rejecting the sword, anyway? I did not
choose it myself, instead guessing the house at Godric's Hollow.

I think it is significant that JKR has shown us only three founders
before book publication. Perhaps the Ravenclaw artifact is the most
important one. She has said somewhere that Ravenclaws, whose house has
been sort of ignored in canon, to have their day. Luna and Ernie
MacMillan to be the heroes of Book 7?
