Shelly:

I know everyone has interpreted the thing around Harry's neck as a
locket, but my son and I agree that it looks more like a small bag. It
has too much of a "fish" look with a split tail, and this to me is the
top part of a bag. A locket wouldn't have that top part- it would just
be attached to the chain with a loop or wire or a whole in the locket
itself. 

Inufan625:

It may not be a locket, but I can dismiss that it could be based on
its appearence on the cover since I have a locket which has two bead
shaped pieces on the very top through which the chain is threaded.

Sort of like this (- = chain, 0= bead)

if you can picture what I'm talking about by looking at that...lol

Inufan625:

I thought this was because DD was too important. I thought their
reasoning was that if someone told Voldemort that DD was the secret
keeping he might overcome his fear and go after DD perhaps in full
force just to dispose of the phrophesized child and they couldn't risk
it. I could have sworn I read that somewhere, but then again itmight
have been fan fiction...
