Alla:

I agree, Larry. There is always a choice. I believe we already have  
the example of the Slytherin abandoning self-preservation and 
heroically defying Voldemort pretty much knowing that he would die 
for that.

I believe that JKR pretty much confirmed R.A.B. identity as Regulus 
in the interview, so I am arguing as if it is a given, if you 
disagree that R.A.B is Regulus, then obviously it does not work :-)

I did not respect Regulus much before H.B.P. it was pretty much what 
I feel for Draco now - a little bit of pity, but dislike nevertheles.

Now I respect him very much - for having the guts to abandon 
Slytherin desire to save  their own skin and stand up to Voldemort. 

Snape, on the other hand ....


Just my opinion of course,

Alla.
