> In the chapter title: 'The Most Noble and Most Ancient House of 
Black': "Sirius jabbed a finger at the very bottom of the tree, at the 
name 'Regulus Black'.  A date of death (some 15 years previously) 
followed the date of birth."

Potioncat:
Oh, OK, I thought you were saying Regulus died on the day Harry was 
born. But to be honest, I've never picked up on the fact that he died 
within a few months of Harry's birth. So the prophesy, Regulus' death, 
the birth of Neville and Harry and possibly Snapes' return all happened 
about the same time. (Of course, I guess several other kids in Harry's 
class were born around then too...

Good point.
