If we accept that RAB is Regulus (which I am not
willing to do, but this doesn't stop me from using the
assumption in my theories:) then it is not impossible
that the potion had contained his memories too ('Don't
make me do it, I don't want to' sounds a lot like the
agonising of somebody who was asked to do things he
did not have the stomach for). This idea is pretty
obvious so it was probably discussed before, I only
mention it because I haven't read it yet and I find
the action of the potion on the cave quite intriguing.
