Thanks for the reference! But, you see, I was still wrong in a way, 
because somehow I didn't think that Harry remembered the locket 
from "Lord Voldemort's request", I thought it was from "The House of 
Gaunt", where we see the locket for the first time. I looked it up, 
and of course you are right: in "The House of Gaunt" the locket is 
not described in detail. We find out only that it was "a heavy gold 
locket" and that it was Slytherin's. There is nothing about the "S" 
mark in there. I mixed up the two scenes, what was described 
where :). Thanks again for unconfusing me!
