This would be funny and also could bring some more light into Harry's life.
It gets even more plausible when you look at a star map. Regulus is, als I
already posted, the heart of the little lion (and not snake!!!). Stars and
their maening are not out of discussion in the Black family. Sirius is the
dog star! So Regulus could be some kind of little lion:
not tough enough to be the open rebel as his older brother was but still
knows exactly what's right or wrong.
This also could enlight some new aspects on the task he had to do as a DE
and refused to do...
