I, too, am haunted by this idea that Snape and Regulus must 
have been pals in school, and that somehow Regulus is a key to 
a lot of stuff that went on between Snape and the Maurauders. 
(Maybe pretty-boy Reg. tried to steal Lily Evans from Prongs!) I 
even posted a theory similar to yours, with Snape being ordered 
by Voldy to kill his Slytherin buddy Regulus, not doing it, and 
having Dumbledore hide him (in that unimaginable way that he 
speaks of in HBP). I was kind of shaken by the fact that, 
apparently, the line "How can they kill you if you're already dead?" 
didn't appear in the British edition of HBP! And by JKR's 
statement, some ways back, that "Regulus is dead". Maybe 
Dumbledore can hide his death even from JKR!!! It also strikes 
me - though I'll have to double check - that almost all of the 
references to Regulus's murder are qualified in some way by the 
speaker. Eg: "As far as I remember" or "from what I can tell..." It's 
very vague. Not even Sirius is very detailed about it. Doesn't even 
name the DE that supposedly did him in. Very Strange, I say.

Let's embroider this...
