Hehe. Love Regulus, still think that "dead THESE days" means that he 
may be not dead another days, but your post made me want to go on 
the  sort of the different tangent or maybe not so different.

Anyways, the small warning here. I take as an absolute fact that we 
are nowhere close to knowing  complete information about Prank 
events and what preceded them. And yes, that means that I don't buy 
as a fact that Sirius wanted Snape dead, since I don't see enough 
canon support.

I also posted once the list of many  many questions I have about 
Prank night available upon request.

So, if one position is that we know everything we need to know about 
Prank night, then my next question will make no sense to you.

We will have to learn about what happened on Prank night from 
somebody, right?

Unless JKR will  just do the "history chapter", somebody who is 
available to testify about mindsets, intentions, COMPLETE events of 
that night is needed.

I just realised yesterday that nobody else is available to tell us 
everything, especially about Sirius intentions, but also about 
Peter, James role ( how did he learn, where he was, etc)

Sirius and James are dead, Snape, well we know his testimony already 
don't we?

What else? Somebody's diary? Another pensieve? Dumbledore's? My 
memory is as good as ever, so maybe he DOES have full memory of the 
event stored somewhere.

If pensieve is objective, then Snape's or Sirius' will do too.

Renee, the reason I am talking about all that stuff in your post 
about Regulus is because your idea that Regulus may have been 
connected with Remus or Greyback somehow made me think that IF 
Regulus was involved somehow and he is alive, it would be SO cool if 
he finally sheds light on what happened that night.

He can certainly know about Sirius' intentions, estranged as they 
were, they must have been communicated somehow and he certainly may 
know about Snape.

Oh, he is such a wild card. Please JKR, let one cool adult to play 
some role in discovering the events of the past?

Alla, thanking Betsy and Ceridwen for suggestions.
