This is a great theory but if Filch is Regulus then I don't think DD
is knowingly hiding him. In order to get DD to hide him, Regulus
would have had to tell DD why he was in trouble and then DD would
have known about the locket horcrux but surely wouldn't have gone to
the cave or drunk the potion etc because he'd know Regulus had stolen
it. Of course Regulus could have had (or just told DD)another reason
to be fleeing for his life, but why not tell DD about the locket?
So if Regulus is Filch then I think DD doesn't know.
