I agree that it is Regulus, but I doubt he would have just abandoned 
the locket at Grimmauld Place without leaving a clue or clues as to 
how to destroy this (and possibly other) Horcruxes. I don't believe 
Regulus is still alive, but JKR wouldn't have left so many hints 
about contacting those already dead without bringing it into play in 
Book 7. I have a half-forned theory about this (involving the two-
way mirror and Dumbledore's portrait) that I will have to post at a 
later date. 

Assuming that the other Horcruxes have better protection than did 
the locket (remeber DD's comment about how crude the doorway was and 
it is probably safe to assume that this was one of the first ones 
Voldy set up), then how else will Harry find and destroy them 
without RAB's clues? He isn't a good enough wizard IMO to do this 
alone, or even with Ron and Hermione's help.
