Quick_Silver:
This is amazing...I was just thinking of this question and it comes 
up today. When I read CoS I always got the impression that the sword 
had always been in the hat...for the better part of 1000 years since 
Godric. Unless I'm mistaken, and on this I probably am, the sword is 
only mentioned in the Headmasters office after the events of CoS 
(after Harry pulls it out) and it's never mentioned as being there in 
any of the flashbacks to Dumbledore's or Dippet's days. This is why 
I've always been confused by talk of the sword being a horcrux...I 
just thought that it wasn't around when Voldemort was in horcrux 
making mode.
