hpfan_mom:
When I read your description of Regulus's life, it brought Draco to 
mind.  Whether or not Draco became an actual Death Eater (forgive me, 
I've only read HBP once and don't remember this point), he got in over 
his head when he was very young, possibly without really understanding 
what he was getting into.  At the moment of truth, he panicked and 
could not complete his assigned task.  Will Draco be killed as Regulus 
was?  Both are from pureblood-obsessed families, both were a favored 
son (OK, Draco is the only child).
