Saraquel:
I don't think that this is Regulus - more in a minute on that.  I 
think that the wizard in hiding is Caradoc Dearborn - yes my little 
pet obsession :-)  He is the one whom Moody described from the photo 
(OotP party) as disappearing without a trace.  One possibility for 
him is that he may have been the extra person at GH who told DD what 
happened.  IMO, whoever was at GH told DD what happened, otherwise 
how would he know that Lily sacrificed herself and her love 
protected Harry. The problem being of course, if it was somebody on 
the side of good, why didn't they help Lily out and snuff it in the 
process, if it was somebody on Voldemort's side, what the hell were 
they doing telling DD.  The only person who could fulfil that 
argument is Snape. But I don't think Snape was at GH. (I know I have 
a cast iron reason for thinking that, but it seems to have just 
disappered down the black hole of my memory at the moment :-))

Anyway, further supporting evidence (though of course nowhere near 
conclusive) is that Caradoc is a Welsh name (correct me if I'm 
wrong), so he could well have been in the area.  Also, there is a 
very interesting myth about Caradoc being bitten by a snake and 
spending 12 years in hiding - here's the link -  actually I can't 
find the original source I used, but here is a similar one

Saraquel:
My big problem with this, other than Christina's point about DD not 
telling Sirius, is the whole Cave scenario - was it then, just a 
training exercise for Harry and the potion was concocted by Snape 
perhaps and was harmless?  Not that I think that is not a 
possibility.  One of my first posts after HPB came out was about 
feeling that there was something very fishy about the whole cave 
event and I suggested it had the feel of a training scenario.  But 
further reflection has pretty well led me to abandon this one.

Saraquel:
I posted a theory that Snape gave spy!Pettigrew to DD and that was 
why he trusted him, but my biggest problem there was what would DD 
make of Sirius apparently killing Pettigrew. (I did deal with other 
objections btw.) Anyway - JKR has said in the MN/LC interview, that 
we will meet some old Order members in book 7, which is why I think 
Caradoc might come into play.
