Potioncat:
Another thought about the significance of the brothers. There is a huge 
section of HP fans who have no idea that the barman is Aberforth 
Dumbledore. Harry doesn't know. I don't think anything in canon tells 
us this. I'm sure there's a smaller, but still significant number of 
fans who don't particularly remember that Sirius's brother was named 
Regulus.  

The impact of Regulus's role and Aberforth's role will be more intense 
for those fans who are expecting nothing than it will be for us. It 
would be easier for us to say, "Is that it?"

Potioncat, still dosed up on cold medicine, and hoping this post isn't 
too foggy.
