zgirnius:
Nitpick: If the Peverell Ring had a protective curse placed on it, as 
one of its own powers, this curse might reasonably be expected to 
permit its legitimate heir to wear it. Marvolo, Morfin, and Tom all 
meet that description; Dumbledore likely does not.

zgirnius:
Dumbledore expects the mystery Horcrux to be something of Ravenclaw's 
or Gryffindor's. The only Gryffindor relics *he* knows of are safe; 
but if a vault full of his stuff exists somewhere and Voldemort knows 
of it, the mystery HOrcrux could be an item of Gryffindor's.
