Hehe, oh yes, I would love it to be Regulus. As I mentioned before this 
interview just stops me from letting go of this thought.

"* Cathedral: Will we be hearing anything from Sirius Black's brother, 
Regulus, in future books?
JK Rowling replies -> Well, he's dead, so he's pretty quiet these days."

So, yeah, he is quiet these days, to me means that maybe he will be 
more loud soon :)

I would love to get to know Regulus more - the Slytherin who chose to 
risk his neck and maybe at the same time found a way to save it at the 
last minute.

Hehe.

Here is another reason why I think it can happen. If this line is 
indeed foreshadowing, then it makes total sense that Dumbledore tells 
it to Darco, who just as Regulus got in too deep and has a choice to 
make, IMO.


On the related note, another Q and A in this Interview made me think 
that maybe when JKR does not guard whether Harry lives or dies too 
much, she sort of slips that he lives? ( wishful thinking of course on 
my part)

"Jangles: Are you going to write books about harry after school?
JK Rowling replies -> Probably not, but I'll never say never because 
every time I do I immediately break the vow!"

Alla:

It seems to me that for her to break the vow in the first place Harry 
has to survive :)

JMO,
