Good spotting, but if you go to messages, you can do a word search 
for the postings here. Just to re-cap earlier talk about R.A.B. :-

Do you think R.A.B. could be Regulus Black and that the real necklace
is at 12 Grimmauld place?

I think that Regulus took Kreacher with him to the cave. Kreacher
also probably drank the potion. Also, if Regulus had a need to get
anything from Grimmauld Place Kreacher would have been able to snap
his fingers and be beack and forth in minutes.

OotP, Ch. 6: "... also a heavy locket that none of them could 
open, ..."

No wonder Harry has to live a Sirius's house next year.
The locket is either in Kreacher's sleeping area or with the items
Mundungus stole.

Just like Dumbledore points out to Harry
that they can both go into the boat, because Voldemort's enchantments
will not consider a 16-year-old a threat. Voldemort would probably 
not view a House Elf as a threat, either, we know from Dobby that he 
and the Death Eaters despised House Elves.

One more thing... I was reading somewhere (I forget where) that 
Sirius and Regulus have an Uncle Alphard. Perhaps this is Regulus' 
middle name?


Harry Potter Lexicon
Alphard (d. ca. 1976-1977)
Uncle who died and left Sirius Black enough gold to buy a "place of 
his own." Alphard has been erased from the Black family tree (OP6).


... although others have suggested RAB is one ot the Borin and 
Blotts shop owners from Nocturn Alley.
