 Evidently they have done this before. I believe that someone we think
to be dead is going to immerge to help harry. Perhaps Regulus???"


That is NOT in my book....the line "He cannot kill you if you are already
dead" is not in the Canadian Edition (which in the past, has always been the
same as the British edition so I presume it is now as well).

As others have said, I don't think Regulus is alive or Kreacher would know
and wouldn't be able to obey HP.  I do think Regulus put Kreacher to -
probably his best ever use - by taking him to the cave and forcing the
poison potion down his throat.

 "I doubt it - because an Unbreakable Vow *kills*, and that strikes me
as being a bit of Dark magic.

The UV is something you do to someone you don't trust."


Don't forget, Fred and George were trying to get Ron to do one when he was
five (F&G about 7).  Where would the Weasley children have learned a dark
magic thing like this if it IS dark magic.  Arthur went Molly-ish on them,
not because it was dark magic, but because if the vow was broken, the
breaker would die.
