*In awe*

[author_by_night]

A member  at a messageboard I  go to, Cara, came up with a brilliant theory:

What if Tom's Special  Awards thing is a Horcrux?

Link to her speculation (Note: this isn't a HP site, the board just has a HP thread)

So, what do  y'all think?

Someone call up Jo and tell her about this, cause anything less would be disapointing. XD

Oh wow, that's interesting! And it makes a good deal of sense. This would mean that Harry would have to come back to Hogwarts at some point...

omb, that is so... so... BRILLIANT.

Though, I don't know if he would transfigure Hufflepuff's goblet... maybe it's the missing Horcrux?

Though that doens't sound really plausible.

wicked kewl.

Very interesting indeed.

Ooh. I bet anything this is right on the money.

WHAT?!

I... should've wrote up my theory on July 17th. Because this was it. And now Jo will see it somewhere and give the other person credit. GAH!

Wow, that's brilliant.

Was this really the first time you came across this theory? Because I've seen it suggested before.

Anyway, it does seem VERY likely. Tom likes trophies, and his Award would be perfectly hidden - in plain sight. NOBODY would think of looking for one of Voldemort's horcruxes in Hogwarts!
And it would be another connection to CoS. :)
