Geoff:
I think that is unlikely. As we saw in Slughorn's memory of his 
conversation with teenage Tom Riddle, the latter was rather 
obsessed with the thought of seven being a powerful magic number 
and of making that number of Horcruxes.

In post 191209, I wrote about this and listed the seven Horcruxes which
Voldemort intended to have - one of which had to be himself. So it would 
seem that he didn't lan anything for Gryffindor; maybe this was the 
not unusual Hogwarts Gryffindor-Slytherin antipathy surfacing again.
