Whorekrukses Revisted

Joywitch:

<<Well, that sat around in my brain for a while, then suddenly a few 
nights ago I woke up at two a.m., and I HAD to know what horehound 
was introduced in POA.  WHAT COULD IT BE?>>

What about the Marauder's Map?  Harry's first thought when he sees it 
is to recall Arthur Weasley's warning about the diary horcrux: "Never 
trust anything that can think for itself, if you can't see where it 
keeps its brain."  And if you buy that James is a descendant of 
Gryffindor, it could be argued that the Map was a Gryffindor relic.  
And Pettigrew knew about the Map, and could have provided it to his 
master Voldy upon request.

Joywitch:

<<OK, so what's the latest consensus on this one-per-book theory?>>

Personally, I think the one-horcrux-per-book theory is a bit flawed, 
as we learn about both the ring and Hufflepuff's cup for the first 
time in Book 6.  However, it's possible that there were some clues 
about one or the other that have been missed in previous books.

What if the horcrux-related "thing" that's introduced in PoA isn't a 
horcrux-holder, but a horcrux hiding place?  Azkaban would be a 
wonderful place to hide a horcrux, don't you think?
