aussie:
If DD arranged for Regulus to disappear, why wasn't RAB's memory in 
DD's pensive ... even if not for Harry to see. With that memory, DD 
wouldn't have been weakened and would be alive to hunt other 
Horcruxes today.

Unless of course, DD asked the Longbottoms to disguise and hide RAB, 
and now no-one knows where he is since Neville's parents aren't 
talking (unless RAB is hiding in a gum wrapper).
