My Theories

WHO IS RAB?:
   
  I think its Regulus Black.  Remember in Book #5 that no one that was helping in the cleaning of 12 Grimmauld Place could open a locket so they threw it in bag of rubbage.  So this raises some questions:  
   - How did Regulus find out?  And did he tell anyone of his family members
   - If it is the missing locket, what happened to that bag it was put in?  Will Harry find it in Book #7
   - Did Regulus document his findings
   - Did Kreacher take it from the bag (since he was taking everything else)? Did he give it to Bellatrix or Draco's family?
   
  I think that 12 Grimmauld Place and Kreacher will have something important to do with #7 because why would Rowling have put it in there.  I think Kreacher knows something about Horcruxes.  Did Regulus take Kreacher with him since the mission requires two beings?
   
  Life Debt:
   
  In Book #3 DD tells Harry that Wormtail will be forever in his debt because Harry spared his life.  We all know that James saved Snape's life back in their school days.  Would this life-debt be carried on to family once the saver's life has ended??  So would this mean that LV has two servants that are now in the debt of Harry Potter?
   
  Is Petunia a squib?
   
  I look back at all the books and I think Petunia or the Evans family may have had wizardry in it before Lily.  She has some similarities, attitude wise, to Argus Filch, the janitor.  She seems so bitter towards the wizards because her parents were so proud of Lily getting her letter.  If most Muggles don't even know about the Wizards why would the parents be proud?  If Petunia is a squib can she what her husband can't and does that make Dudley special too?  Dumbledore seemed interested in the well-being of Dudley.
   
  And of course my Dumbledore isn't dead theory:
   
  Looking back I don't think Dumbledore is dead.  
   
   - Back in Book #1 when Harry first meets Snape, Snape says in his speech how he can teach them to "put a stopper on death".  Would this be able to stop a killing curse?  If it can, did he make some for Dumbledore or did Dumbledore know about this potion and have Slug make it for him?
   
   - In Book #6, Dumbledore says "Snape, please".  Most thought this too be a plead for life, but why would a wizard as powerful and old as Dumbledore plead for life.  I believe he was telling him to go through with their secret plan, plus to make it look convincing to the other Death Eaters.  And with that, the Killing Curse in other books kills the victim and drops them in their place, but this time it knocked Dumbledore over the side of the tower.  Why would it now knock someone about?  I think the potion mixed with the potion may have put Dumbledore in a comma of some sort.  At the bottom of the tower Dumbledore looked peaceful, smiling almost.  In other books the victims kept the face that they died with.  Again, I think Dumbledore was just "sleeping".
   
  - At Dumbledore's funeral you never see the body.  After Hagrid places the body on the table and it is engulfed by the tomb you see a phoenix go into the sky.  Remember this.  Now going to another fact.  We know that Dumbledore was the Transfiguration teacher in his time.  McGonnogal (sp?) is now the transfiguration teacher and is an animagus.  Is Dumbledore an animagus?  Since Fawkes is his "mate"/"pet" is Dumbledore's animagus form the phoenix?  It would make sense since at the funeral the body then erupted into flames before being encased in marble.  Remember back in book #4 Hermione looks up all the registered animgus's in the world, would she have seen Dumbledore on their?  Would she still remember?  Now if Dumbledore was a Phoenix animagus and say he did die could he come back to life?
   
   - Now I know Dumbledore was a kind, forgiving man, but he wasn't stupid.  I think he knew that once LV was back that Snape would have to go back to him.  I think that Dumbledore struck up a plan with Snape.  Remember when Snape was teaching Harry Occlumens that he said only a strong Occlumens like him could block LV from getting inside their mind.  So I think that Snape felt safe keeping secrets from LV.
   
   - Did Dumbledore know more about the future?  Did he use Trelawney to see into the future?  She never remembers these things and he had her at Hogwarts all the time.
   
  - Why doesn't Fawkes ever come to Dumbledore's aid?  In all other books Fawkes helps those that are friends of Dumbledore and Dumbledore himself, so why wouldn't the bird help his master now?  Unless Dumbledore told him not to because he wasn't in real danger!
   
   - Here's the biggest question though:  WHERE'S DUMBLEDORE'S WAND??  Remember when Aragorn died and Slug sang that sad song.  At the end of the verses they say they broke his wand in half.  If this is the custom of wizards then why didn't they snap Dumbledore's?  It went over the wall with him.
   
  That's all I can type for now.  I got more though.
