    So, RAB? Are we convinced it's Regulus Black or could this be one of JK Rowling's trademark wild goose chase's?

    I think it's almost certainly Regulus but I'm curious to know if there's any other plausible theories out there!

    I'm convinced it's Regulus Alphard Black. Plus, since Dumbledore needed help drinking that liquid, I'm guessing that Regulus needed help too.

    I'm thinking that particular person may have a large role to play in the next book....

    I like the Amy Benson theory. It's just a little bit further afield than Regulus, and JK usually doesn't go for the utterly obvious, but still throws in a few hints. However, Regulus fits better with the Horcrux as locket theory - the little silver locket in Grimmauld Place.
    No-one else seems to fit...

    Remember when Dumbledore came to the orphanage to get Tom? The matron told a story about two children who were taken to a cave on the coast - the cave the Horcrux was contained in. One of those children was Amy Benson...

    I'm convinced it's Regalus Black anyway.

    When I read back over the final chapters with the Horcrux after someone mentioned Amy Benson, for some reason I though that it could be more than just a person's name ... that being Revenge, Amy Benson

    Clutching at straws?? Very maybe :D

    Oooh, that's a nice one! I thought the R might have stood for a secret first name, but that's even better!

    Oh right, I thought you found out. At the end, when Harry finds the note inside the false horcrux, it's signed RAB.

    I really, really, really think it was Regulus Black... there's a lot of evidence pointing to him... in the note, Voldie is refered to as 'the Dark Lord' which is what Death Eaters call him, and we know Reggie was a DE.
