It hasn't been confirmed in canon that RAB is/was Regulus Black. JKR
said that Regulus  "would be...a fine guess."
(http://www.quick-quote-quill.org/articles/2005/0705-tlc_mugglenet-anelli-2.htm)
But she hasn't stated as a fact that RAB *DOES* stand for "Regulus
A___ Black," and we are speculating that his middle initial was A.


I agree that Regulus is a likely candidate for RAB, but I still
suspect that he's a false lead precisely because he's such an obvious
candidate. I foresee about two years of fertile speculation!
