Kneasy:
In a previous post I mentioned that some fans are suggesting the 
possibility of the TR Cup being an object of suspicion but I didn't actually
mention the'TR Cup' myself - for the very good reason that there
isn't one, not in the books. On Jo's site - yes, but even there we can't
really tell if it matches the one in HBP (small, with finely wrought handles). 
Plus - and, this may be Jo using colloqialisms, the Trophy Room contents
are referred to as 'silverware', the Huff Cup is gold.

Additionally, Voldy doesn't seem particularly interested in disguising his
Haircuts - the Diary still looks like a vintage diary, the ring looks the
same, I'll bet the Slytherin locket still looks like the Slytherin locket,
and for a damn good reason - how else is Harry going to find them, 
if he can't recognise the damn things when he falls over them? 

If Tom did sneak the Huff Cup into the Trophy Room the odds are
that it'll still look like the original, but my guess is that he didn't;
it's somewhere else. A Gringotts vault, a DE mantlepiece, the Chamber,
might even be clues to its whereabouts at GH - that pilgrimage is
going to be more than just a sentimenal journey, you can bet your 
boots on that.
