There's the ring, the locket, the diary. Those are definite. Dumbledore guesses something of Ravennclaw's or Gryffindor's, the cup of Hufflepuff and Nagini. One of those is wrong if we assume Harry is the Horcrux, which I think is correct.
The cup seems likely, if he was going for Founder connections. Nagini, as Dumbledore mentions, would be a poor choice. Dumbledore says that if Voldemort was dying and used the nearest thing to him it could be her, but I think that was Harry. On the other hand he does seem to have a strong bond with her.
I'm with you on your theory, if only because the last book needs to introduce interhouse unity without them being at school.
Could the last Horcrux be the sorting hat? It would neatly include all four founders, and, since the hat itself has doubts about its job, its destruction might be a good thing.
