Who is it? I think its Regulus Black, because he died a bit after Harry was born...perhaps he was killed because he stole the Horcrux? Interesting possibility...and other suspects? I hope that whoever they are, they are on 'our' side, and not their own. Or the MoM's.

well, this was touched upon on the "Ideas and Theories" thread, but yeah, it seems fairly obvious its Regulas...i think somewhere they mentioned in the other thread as well an amulet that was in No. 12 Grimauld Place that nobody thought anything of...so...Regulas must have hid it there...

When they were cleaning the house, they found a locket that could not be opened. It was a throw-away moment, but I'd bet that's the horcrux.

It must be Regulus. It is pretty obvious.

Speaking of which, it may have been thrown away. Or Kreacher may have squirreled it away, or Dung may have sold. So, it's extremely likely this locket is the Horcrux and the RAB is Regulus Black, but, that won't neccessarily lead us to it.

I'll bet Kreacher has it, the lil' sumbitch.

I'd be willing to bet that its Regulus but Jo has a way of leaving red herrings...

There was an interview or Chat question that went something like, "Would Regulus Black be a good assumption as the indentity for R.A.B.?" And her reply, although appearing to support the notion, didn't lean in either direction "That would be a good assumption" (Which could mean it's accurate, or it could mean, it's the logical choice, but, that doesn't neccessarily mean it's accurate. I still think RAB is Regulus, but, was intrigued the other day when I read a theory that RAB may be a Bones family member, since Voldemort has an obvious vendetta against the Bones family.

I find it unlikely to be a Bones, unless they took a house elf with them or an underage wizard, no one person could drain the basin. That's why its likely it was Regulus since he had access to Kreacher.

I'm inclined to go with Regulus simply because we know he was killed by either Voldemort or the Death Eaters, stealing the horcrux would be the perfect act to warrant that.

I don't think it would fit with JKR's style for it to be anyone else than Regulus.

She likes the whodunnit aspect, I think she likes the idea that there are people out there who've put it all together (eg the Tom Marvolo Riddle = "I am Lord Voldemort" thing that only the most avid fan would have deciphered), and for RAB to be a member of the Bones family would be a bit of a reach, IMO.

It's Regulus Black.

I also like the idea that Sirius underestimated Regulus.

I agree that it's Regulus, but, I don't understand you saying being a Bones would be a reach? Mad Eye Moody in GoF wasn't mad Eye Moody, due to poly Juice potion, no one could've guessed he was actually Crouch Jr. And so many otehr things that looked like something they actually weren't, and we didn't have enough information to guess the real truth. We have definitely seen a definite vendetta of killing off Bones family members, there ahs to be some reason for such a vindictive retribution.

My question is, does Voldemort even know the locket was switched prior to Dumbledore drinking the potion? We know Regulus was killed for attempting to quit the Death Eaters, not necessarily for taking the holcrux. We don't know if Voldemort even knows that holcrux was taken...

Post by **Cameraman Jenn** » Wed Apr 11, 2007 9:50 pm

OOOH! Excellent point Menolly! I hadn't thought of it that way. However, Dumbledore states that two people would have to be involved in order to successfully remove the horcrux from the lake hiding place. Could RAB and an accomplice have been caught just after removing the horcrux? Or could Voldemort have found out later that the horcrux had been replaced and then killed RAB?

Hmmph.

Would a house elf work as the second 'person?' If so, I bet Kreacher could have dealt with the poison with no ill effects.

Or...

Maybe Kreacher is the way he is not solely due to age...

OH OH OH! Menolly, that's IT! I BET that's IT! You are so brilliant! WOW!

Would a house elf behave so? Yes, I imgaine that Regulus might have inspired more loyalty in Kreacher than did Sirius, but ...well, I can't rule it out either! Good thinkin'...a fascinating point to ponder if nothin' else!

Interesting proposal.

I had assumed "killed by Voldemort" (if RAB is indeed Regulus, which I think he is) that Regulus died from the potion effects (like Dumbledore would have) rather than being hunted down and killed
