It has to be Regulas Black! That's Sirius' brother, a DEATH EATER! Hermione says that R.A.B had to have known Voldemort to call him the Dark lord! I know it's him! Also, it says that Regulas is dead, right? So it also says that "I will be dead by the time you read this" or something like that. I just know it's him!

I agree with you guys. I guess Regulus wasn't the snivelling coward (IIRC) Sirius figured him for eh?
I'm sure Mundungus has done something with it. Otherwise the scene with him and Harry in Hogsmeade would just be a red herring. (Possible I guess.)

I agree that Mundungus stole it. That Hogsmeade scene wasn't for nothing! And it strengthens the evidence for RAB being Regulus. Yeah, I think Sirius underestimated his little brother. Slughorn mentions Regulus and implies that he was just as talented as Sirius. I even think Reg was in the Slug Club. And I think that Aberforth Dumbledore might have the locket now.... he was standing close to Mundungus when Harry saw them in Hogsmeade. While we know the identity of Aberforth (the barman in the Hog's Head), Harry does not, and I believe this will be part of book 7's plot.
So how did Regulus find out about and steal the locket? All we know is from his note, and what Remus says when they hear about Igor Karkaroff's death: that Regulus only managed to stay alive a few days after he abandoned the Death Eaters. |

If that theory is true, I wonder how JKR will explain the story od DD's brother. One thing is to leave clues so some people can guess it (as she has done) and one other to explain the odd fact that the brother of the greatest wizard of the age is a bar-keeper that probably cannot read...

who holds the locket
If you reread the fifth book you find out that in Grimauld Place there was a heavy silver locket that no one could open. Would it not then make sense that Regulas might have brought the locket back to Grimauld place.

I think it has to be Regulus, I don't think Rowling thought people would guess it was regulus so soon otherwise the clues would have been harder to make it more of a suprise unless its all a red herring
The evidence that points to Regulus being RAB: 1. RAB had to be a death eater because he called Voldy the dark lord, we know regulus was a death eater 2. we know regulus broke away from the death eaters... why? RAB must have broken away from the death eaters and knew his days were numbered 3. Regulus was murdered by the death eaters RAB predicts he doesn't have long to live 4. a silver locket noone could open is a Grimuld place could this be the Horcrux? what colour is the Horcrux locket? does anybody know? in OOTP Sirius figures that Regulus was murdered on voldemort's orders and wasn't important enough to be killed by Moldy Voldy himself, If RAB was Regulus Black Wouldn't it be a better end for him to be murdered by voldemort's hand than killed by some death eater stooge, it would give a better end to someone who has stood up to the dark lord and tried to do good

no, because Voldy didn't know that regulas, if he was RAB, did it, because the locket and message hadn't been found yet...

I think Reg had already decided to leave the Death Eaters, like Sirius told Harry in OotP, and was on the run. He knew he would be killed anyway, so he decided to take a Horcrux with him. I'm sure that Voldy never knew this, or he would have searched high and low for the locket. Certainly the false one wouldn't still be there. The big question for me is how Regulus knew about the Horcrux, and how he managed to get past all the protections. Did he drink the potion, somehow get away, and the potion replenished itself (or he made a new batch)? Did he know some trick to get past the potion without drinking it? Or did he swap the lockets before the potion was added? I'm guessing either the first or last option, and that he was somehow involved with helping Voldy set up the cave, around the same time that he changed loyalties (also about the same time Harry was born). Since Voldy was semi-defeated by Harry soon afterwards, he never returned to the cave to check on his Horcrux. Or perhaps he did, but just verified that the potion was still there.

Like any good mystery story, if there is no clear, physical evidence that some one is dead then we should hold the suspicion that they may yet show up in the last chapter, holding the most important piece of the puzzle in their hot little hand...

Regulus Black - you never know Sirius - We're never told what spell hits him or what happens after entering the veil Dumbledore - Avada Kedavra didn't match any previous description of what that spell does, all the other descriptions says the one hit crumples dead, but dumbledore flew off the balcony

Regulus could have already destroyed it
