Annette:
My theory is that Kreacher is the one who helped Regulus get into the cave, and Kreacher knows what the locket is, as Regulus stashed the locket with Kreacher......or Mundungus actually retrieved the locket from the "trash" and has sold it, not knowing what it was.  If he sold it in Hogsmeade, DD's brother may get in on the action, in trying to find it.  I think he will play a role in Book 7.
