colebiancardi here:  ahhh, my favorite obscure character, Regulus :) 
I wrote this huge theory on Regulus(if he is R.A.B) about a year ago.
 I believe that Regulus is the reason why Snape turned his back on the
DE's and when to DD.  Afterall, Regulus and Snape were in the same
House(which is your family....) and both DE's.  Also, Regulus's
"death" is too close to the timeframe when Snape turned doubleagent.  

If you are interested (or maybe you have read it, with all four
possible endings), here is the thread.....  I love this theory - it is
mine all mine :) and I still nurse it like a baby today.  I could be
totally off-base, but since I know hear that the PB edition don't have
that infamous line in it, I wonder.....

also, follow the thread line for the few that discussed this theory
with me - and added their wonderful insight to it.
