Maybe there were plans to attack or torture Sirius for information 
on the Potters whereabouts, perhaps before it was known that Peter 
Pettigrew was their secret keeper, or even before the fidelus charm 
was done. Blood is blood, after all, and maybe Reg had a soft spot 
for his prodigal brother. I also like the theory that Reg was the 
eavesdropper. Perhaps he was going to be sent to torture Sybill 
Trelawny in an attempt to discover the rest of the prophecy and he 
got squeamish. It seems that LV isn't all that clear when it comes 
to the rules of prohecy, and may not know that Trelawny's particular 
brand of prediction leaves her without memory of what she has 
predicted. But then again, if Reg was the eavesdropper then he MAY 
have been important enough for LV to kill himself.
