The sword was Godric's and he left it to the school for use if anyone needs it. I think it's still in there, in the headmaster's office, I would think. Or maybe the Gryffindor Common room, now. I dunno, but I bet it's in teh school somewhere.

Dumbledore left the sword to Harry in his will. I'd like to think that Harry gave it back to Hogwarts.

The thing is, it wasn't Dumbledore's to give to Harry, though. It didn't belong to him, really. It belonged to the school, despite who the Headmaster is. Look what happened, the goblin got it, and it still came back to the school. It will always belong to the school, no matter who tries to walk away with it. That's my thoughts on it, anyway.

I think that they would leave it at the school, because that was its rightful place.
When dumbledore gave it to Harry in his will, i dont thik he expected him to have it, all he was trying to do was let harry know that it could destroy the Horucruxes.
And is there actually any point for someone to keep it anyway?
It seems that when someone does get ther hands on it, the hat just springs it right back into hogwarts.

It wasn't theres to give to the school guys, they were just borrowing it from the school. Don't you remember Dumbledores will ? He purposely tried to give it to the trio because he knew they would need it but they couldn't have it because it belonged to the school.

I voted for the school. Although, this will sound really stupid but I think Snape should have been buried with it. Yeah, I know he was Slytherin but he showed courage and selflessness and many qualities that Gryffindors should have. In the end, he helped Harry defeat Voldy. Every time he went to a meeting with the Death Eaters he faced the thought of death as they could have found out he was a spy.

What ggod would it have done for him to be buried with it, though? The next time a student needed help, it would be magically yanked from his coffin, anyway. For arguments sake, let's say the sword was to be buried with someone... I certainly wouldn't choose Snape over Harry or Neville, anyway. But yeah, I really think that sword is at the school where Godric Gryffindor intended it to be.

I vote that it stayed with the school too.

Side note: I read the end of the book so quickly when the Battle for Hogwarts started... I'll have to go back and do it again more slowly.

How did Nevelle get the sword back from the goblins?
