Matt and Dave I think that your theories are right on, in my reread
of 
Chapter 2 page 29 AV I noticed that Bellatrix mentions "the Dark Lord 
has in the past, entrusted me with his most precious--  (secrets) I 
that LV told Bellatrix of his Horcruxes and she was responsibile for 
hiding some of them, this being the locket, and RAB (Regulus) was her 
cousin, he was the perfect person for her to bring along.  I am 
convinced that she was the person who recruited RB to be a DE, and
told 
him about LV's Horcruxes, by boasting of her being the most loyal and 
prized DE.  I also think that Bellatrix, is the one who killed RB,
when 
he went against LV, if only to save herself from the wrath of LV, and 
her spilling his secrets.  I think that Bellatrix is going to be a big
key to book 7 and where and what the remaining Horcurxes are.
