Hi, Chad. I think it's universally agreed that RAB is Regulus Black
(okay, maybe one or two people are holding out for another candidate,
but the initials RAZ and the translation Regulus Zwarts (sp?) in the
Dutch version pretty much sealed the argument in Reggie's favor.

Funny you should ask about Snape and Dumbledore. I just posted my
first-ever Internet article on how Snape could have killed Dumbledore
and still be Dumbledore's man. (You'll find a lot more theories and
posts on that subject on the main HPfGU list. Just do a search with
Dumbledore Snape tower as search terms and you'll be overwhelmed with
links to post and threads.)

Anyway, here's a link to my article on the gather.com site

and to my HPfGu post quoting the article:

Any comments on either site would be appreciated. (Please be kind as
this is my first attempt at an Internet article accessible to the
general public.)
