Obviously, Regulus was the first person that came to mind when i was considering R.A.B
but now it seems unlikely that it was him, or at least him acting alone. If Dumbledore couldn't do it alone, nothing leads me to believe that Regulus could have done so.
bahh my brain is going to split in half soon. |

By the way, the fact that Harry and Dumbledore did not get the real Horcrux, though they thought they did, was a dagger straight to the heart. And to think that Dumbledore died!  | |

What if they weren't one person's intials? What if it's "R" "A"nd "B"? | |

| Yeah, that is what we have been playing with. The idea of another person being with him. I mean it is a possibility. He could have written the letter alone. Maybe he had a particularly powerful wizard with him, who could have figured everything out like Dumbledore did because once again, Regulus Black does not seem to be a wizard with particularly powerful magic. | |

I personally don't think it's Regulus Black it's I think it's a bit to obvious.. I think JK would expect that... But what do I know, all we can do is speculate Quote: |

| that's what I thought | |

Regulas was a death eater before he died, or he didn't die while he was still in the servies of Voldemort, he coulda backed out on a mission or something. actually i recall correctly, he did die on a mission didn't he? i think sirius was telling harry that he did, but i'm not sure. regulas could have faked his own death though-in order to disappear or something....just throwing stuff out there.

Whatever it is, it has to make sense to Voldemort, at least. First place I'd look, is at anyone associated with him, such as former classmates and Death Eaters. | | |

Could be Regulus - doesn't matter that he's dead because he could have replaced the real Horcrux ages ago. But I'm not convinced it was Regulus, because whoever it was seems to have been stronger and smarter than Dumbledore - because not only did they get to the Horcrus, they replaced it without drinking the potion - or by drinking it and living. And they probably did it on their own. Sounds like a powerful wizard to me! | |

just throwing something out here:
if it means R and B...I was rereading HBP and on pg 144 Cormac McLaggen tells Prof. Slughorn that he went on a hunting triip with Rufus Scrimgeour and Bertie Higgs once (Rufus And Bertie) I know Rufus is the new MoM and we know nothing about Bertie Higgs...but you never know...just throwing it out there.
I still think it's Regulus though...too much things point to him for me to be convinced otherwise. lol. | |

| Or better yet, maybe the person who died (if he did die) became an inferni or one of the bodies they saw under the water. | |

I firmly believe that R.A.B. is Regulus Black and the real horcrux is the heavy gold locket that is in 12 Grimmauld Place. Guess that I'll have to wait until the 7th book comes out for JKR to prove me wrong! | |

Well, it could be Regulus (very probable), but it could also be a completely new character. Or even a group of people... | |

anyone think that maybe Voldemort placed the note there? what if it really was the real holocrux and the note was intended to throw the finder off? | |

Third |  Regulus just seems to easy and all signs point to him...which means no he's dead...
I think Regulus Black is a smokescreen...honestly I have no idea...but its probably going to be someone we heard of more obviously or less in one of the earlier books or out of one of the school books, I know I've seen those initials before...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Oh wait that's my real name...jk
Regulus is a dead red herring...it's going to be someone else...quick someone get a list of all the characters she ever mentioned ever... | |

From Melissa's (TLC) and Emerson's (MuggleNet) interview with J.K. Rowling (part2):
MA: R.A.B.
JKR: Ohhh, good.
[All laugh.]
JKR: No, I'm glad! Yes?
MA: Can we figure out who he is, from what we know so far?
[Note: JKR has adopted slightly evil look here]
JKR: Do you have a theory?
MA: We've come up with Regulus Black.
JKR: Have you now?
MA: Uh-oh.
[Laughter.]
JKR: Well, I think that would be, um, a fine guess.
MA: And perhaps, being Sirius’s brother, he had another mirror –
JKR: [drums fingers on soda can]
MA: Does he have the other mirror, or Sirius’s mirror —
JKR: I have no comment at all on that mirror. That mirror is not on the table. [Laughter from all; Jo's is maniacal.]
MA: Let the record note that she has drummed her fingers on her Coke can in a very Mr. Burns-like way.
[Laughter.]
JKR: Oh, I love Mr. Burns.

^  I read that and it made me wonder. Is she messing with our minds or are we really on to something! I thought of Regulus right off. Quote:

Third |  Why I like toast and jam...*takes out his guitar while he eats his toast*
*Looking at Lissy* It's called misdirection people, she's done it before with great effect...just ask the H/Hr shippers...*fires cannons*
PoA was the ultimate example of that too...
*Ottery passing around the Red Herring* Sorry no anchovies...
If she closes an avenue of thinking that's one less direction to look and you're more likely to figure something out (that was in the interview too, it's uncanny how we think alike)...so of course she can't outright say, no it's not Regulus...then where would the theories be and what fun would we have? Admit it everyone we like guessing...
It might be Regulus, but I don't think so...it's to soon and it's too simple we need to go further back... | |

I mean, Dubledore couldn't do it on his own. And there is no proof (so far) that Regulus even has a middle name... | |

Third | Swear I've seen those initials before...OMG it's Ron from the future w/a time turner
Haha Baby Norbert...that's brilliant.
Tar and feather me for a fool...I hadn't thought of that...but yes, Dumbledore being one of the greatest wizards...okay so the greatest why should some unknown like Regulus who was painted as cowardly too be likely to be the one...
So it's not Regulus...*blinks* Any idea who it is though?
LOL 2 more years of this...Mwahahahahahaha *gears up for the mysteries and the theories* | |
