Regulus Black is Stubby Boardman????

Forgive me if this has been discussed before; I read as many 
posts as I can, but...!

I noticed that Regulus Black, Sirius' kid brother and murdered 
DE, had a date of death "fifteen years previously" (p.112).  And 
Stubby Boardman "retired from public life  after being struck in 
the ear by a turnip...nearly fifteen years ago" (p192).   Maybe 
Regulus is in hiding, impersonating Stubby?  Maybe the REAL 
Stubby was Regulus all along?  Or maybe Stubby died from the 
turnip in the ear, and Regulus, on the run from Voldemort, 
knowing he would get no protection from the MoM, took Stubby's 
identity.  Why hasn't he come out of hiding since?  Well, maybe 
he likes being Stubby?  Or, maybe he's still scared, both of 
Voldy's old supporters and the  MoM (big brother Sirius being the 
most notorious prisoner in  Azkaban probably didn't help...)

Probably not true, but wouldn't it be fun if Stubby, AKA Regulus 
Black, turns up in Book Six?
