Hi,

ok, let us assume Regulus is still alive! 

Maybe Sirius is wrong about his younger brother, that he got killed by
a Deatheater? 

Maybe people just think is dead? 

Maybe it´s a plot as it was with Sirius Black? Everybody thought
Sirius Black was guilty! Then we found out he wasn´t! 

Maybe someone helped Regulus to vanish instead? Regulus wanted to
leave Voldemort, that´s a fact!

I mean Crookshnaks really could be Regulus Black. Regulus is Latin and
means "Little Lion".

In the third book Harry and Ron agreed Crookshans is definitly too
little being a tiger, but too big being a tomcat. 

Sirius animagus was a gigantic bearlike dog. So why couldn´t
Regulus
not be a big, big tomcat??? 

PoA, UK Paperback, The Leaky Cauldron, page 68 Ron: " What is that ?"
" It was either a very big cat or quite a small tiger," said Harry. 

He is intelligent, he sometimes acts like a human being, he really
tried to help Sirius. He seemed to love Sirius. 

Ok, these are several thoughts I´ve got about Crookshanks. 
Bye
