HBP, when Harry catches Mundungus with the things he had "nicked" from
Grimmauld Place, he sees him with a silver locket.  I don't read that he
ever saw Mundungus with the locket.  Why is it

Hickengruendler:

I don't think it was ever directly mentioned that Mundungus had a 
locket. So you didn't miss anything. But Mundungus being (or having been) in
the possession of the locket is nonetheless a very good guess. If R.A.B. is
Regulus (and in my opinion, there is hardly any doubt left) than it seems
logical, that the locket Harry and his friends saw in Grimmauld Place while
cleaning up (which incidentily nobody could open) is indeed the Slytherin
one. First of all, it has a "S" written on it, and most of all, it would
finally explain, why JKR wrote that lengthy scene at all instead of cutting
directly to the family tree. 

4) And then it could have been stolen by Mundungus when he broke into GP12
to steal and sell Sirius' stuff (*hiss* I absolutely hate Mundungus Fletcher
 And not in a good way. I hate reading about him.) This of course is
possible in combination with either possibility 1 or possibility 3. My guess
is that three and four happened. And then it could have been among the stuff
Mundungus sold to Aberforth.


Donna comments:

My feelings are Mundungus will play a large part in finding the horcrux's 
because he's a sneak, a thief, under handed, snoopy, and sly.  I think he
knows more about the locations of the horcrux's than anyone even though he
may not know what a horcrux is.
