To me its fairly clear who R.A.B. is.
Additionally I think it fairly certain where the locket of slytherin
is.
R.A.B. has had its fair share of suspects from Amelia Bones to
multiple parties (Rodolphus And Bellitrix for example).
But (as some here may know) the evidence for it being Regulus Black
can be found in Cannon. Just not English versions.
1.) In Dutch, Black is translated as "Zwarts". The intials R.A.B.
have been changed (in the dutch version of the book) to R.A.Z.
2.) In Norweigian, Black is translated as "Svarrt". The intials
R.A.B. have been changed (in the Norweigen version of the book) to
R.A.S.
3. None of the other suspect's names (Bones, Borgin etc.) have had
the letter B changed. Only the Black name. It an unlikely concidence
(then) that the initials change (in two seperate versions) to the
change appropriate to the change of Black in each version.
That said, if it was (indeed) Regulus... most have already deduced
that it could very well be the necklace mentioned in passing that is
in Grimmwald place. This makes sense as Regulus is of the house of
Black.
Many also speculate that many items (likely including the necklace)
were "removed" by Mundungas fletcher. So with Mundungas in Azkaban
prison... where might the necklace be now?
When Harry first finds out that Mundungas has taken items from the
House of Black he is with "the barkeep from the Hog's Head". (most
would agree that this is Aberforth Dumbledore) and when Aberforth
sees Harry he "pulls his cloak up around his neck and hurries off".
Now, why would Rowling casually mention that he would pull the cloak
around his neck? And the important item we are now discussing is a
locket.
Concidence? Most here know that there are very few of those in
Rowling's world.
