We also did not have a portrait of Regulus though... I rather 
suspect Mrs. Black was the most 'vocal' amongst the family, and 
still believe it's more possible that Regulus, who had been 
mentioned a couple of times by now was indeed RAB. The reason 
Regulus's dad was not talked about at all might exactly be because 
he would play no significant role in the 7th book?
