Another Horcrux thought and RAB speculation

[Freeman, Louise Margaret]

Of all that we've heard of Tom Riddle's schooldays and the honors he earned then, I don't recall 
that we've ever been told anything about whether he played Quidditch.  What if the final 
Horcrux turned out to be the very thing Harry's been "seeking" since the first book:  the 
Hogwarts Golden Snitch?

I also think DD's offer to fake Draco and Narcissa Malfoy's deaths was a big hint that someone 
we believe dead is actually in hiding...  maybe disguised as Trevor the Toad? Regalus Black is an 
obvious suspect (as #1 RAB candidate), but Mad-Eye told Harry of a few other Order members 
who had died whose bodies were never found. 

As far as other RAB candidates go, I'm thinking of people we know with A.B. names, on the 
assumption that they could have a previously unrevealed R first name.  Amelia Bones, 
Andromeda Tonks (nee Black...).  One of the orphans Riddle terrorized also had an AB name.

I thought Amelia was a great candidate at first.   Fudge told us that he *thought* she was killed 
by Voldy (and what does he know, we've already seen how the Ministry jumps to conclusion 
when investigating crimes...); Snape comfirmed that the DE's killed Emmeline Vance, but never 
mentioned Bones. DD said she was a "great witch";  Fudge said she died in a "locked room" and 
put up a great fight...  what if she was destroying the Horcrux instead?  But then they said 
during Harry's hearing that her name was Amelia Susan Bones...  drat.  Unless R was a title or 
she had an accomplice (DD did say it would take more than one to uncover the necklace.)

Final thought:  what became of DD's wand? Hagrid and Slug's song during Aragog's funeral 
implied that wands are sometimes broken and buried with the wizard, but there is obviously 
some precident for passing them on (Neville inheriting his dad's)  With Mr. O gone, I doubt 
people will be discarding his products.

I hope they let Hagrid have DD's!  Or maybe Harry will need it, since sister wands have strange 
effects when used against each other.
