Hah, I made a (flocked) post on my LJ a while back about how I reckon the Sorting Hat is a horcrux. I admit to not having all the shiny canon evidence (although that never stopped me before), but we know that Tomdemort put parts of his soul into something pertaining to each founder. The Hat's song in GoF mentions that the Hat belonged to Godric Gryffindor before it was the super-smrt Sorting Hat. Plus, the Hat keeps insisting that the houses should be united - and what better way to unite them than by no longer splitting people into houses in the first place?
