Dondee:

Description of Slytherin's locket from Lord Voldemort's Request:

'There upon the smooth crimson velvet lay a heavy golden locket.'

'"Slytherin's mark," he said quietly, as the light played upon an 
ornate, serpentine S.' HBP pg. 437

Description of fake!Horcrux locket from Flight of the Prince:

'This was neither as large as the locket he remembered seeing in the 
Pensive, nor were there any markings upon it, no sign of the ornate 
S that was supposed to be Slytherin's mark.' HBP pg. 609

I think that there is a depiction of Slytherin's locket on the UK 
adult cover and that on the US cover Harry is wearing the fake!
Horcrux locket that he has been keeping with him ever since DD died.

Dondee, who thinks that the real horcrux locket is amongst 
Kreature's hoard in 12 Grimauld Place;)
