  This is often true. However, the main reason that I believe R.A.B to
be Regulus, is that Hermione didnt think of it. If Hermione had come
back from the library and listed Regulus as a possibility, I would
probably not believe it. Hermione nor anyone else in the trio even
thought of Regulus, which I think is odd unless JKR didn't want to
give it away just yet. I also believe that the identity of R.A.B will
not be the big mystery. The big questions will be: is he indeed dead,
how well did he know L.V, how did he find out for sure about horcruxes
years before D.D, and did he indeed destroy the locket? I believe
that, that is quite enough to be going on with.
