Goddlefrood:

Perhaps it is, but certainly not with me and many others on this 
site.

The Leaky Cauldron quickly retracted its assertion that R.A.B. was 
Regulus Black.

For further exposition I further you to a post of mine (#142202) 
entitled R.A.B. - Sirius's dear old mum? in which I set out reasons 
as to why Mrs. Black could be R.A.B.

Your speculation regarding Filch has one quite large flaw. It is 
that during the time when Tom Riddle was a student Filch was not the 
caretaker. We are led to believe that very few people know Tom 
Riddle and I would concede that the other people mentioned are aware 
of the link between LV and Tom Riddle.

I do not, however, concede that Filch knew of his identity and in 
that circumstance your theory must falter.

Goddlefrood still with the conviction that Sirius's dear old mum 
will be R.A.B.
