Regulus was in Slytherin he must have known Snape...Possibility b: 
Snape and Regulus were partners in crime and decided together to 
leave the Dark Lord. In this case I expect to hear a lot more about 
Regulus Black in the next book...Am I over-interpretating a 
character, who didn't even make an appearence?...>>>

The Sergeant Majorette says

Of all the overinterpreting that goes on around here, yours makes the 
most sense. After all, Sirius himself was mentioned ever-so-briefly 
in the first book, and doesn't make his appearance until the third. 
Also, how big a surprise was it to find out that "Mrs. Lestrange" is 
actually a Black? And that Arthur Weasley and Draco Malfoy are Black 
cousins? Fool-for-love!Snape doesn't do it for me; the fact that so 
many of my favorite characters are turning out to be Black relatives 
on the other hand, tickles me no end. Todo pa' la familia, as they 
say, which makes for drama which is as dark as it wants to be, yet 
totally G-rated.
