Lunasa:
I think RAB is Regulus, as well. I think Regulus either destroyed the 
Locket or Dung stole it. I don't think Kreachur can give away his 
masters property even to a branch of the Black family.

About the Life Debt, is it an actual binding type of contract like 
the Unbreakable Vow, or was Dumbledore being figurative? I've never 
really got the Life Debt thing. I've always read it that Dumbledore 
reasons that because Harry spared Wormtail's life Wormtail wouldn't 
want to be in his debt, rather than it actually being a Contract type 
bond. 

I've never really thought of Petunia as being that important 
actually... Perhaps I shouldn't overlook her so much. But even if 
there is a faint history of magic in the Evans family, could Petunia 
be considered a squib if there hasn't been a witch or wizard in the 
family for a long time?

I think either Regulus Black or Dumbledore is still alive. Which one 
I'm not sure. But both are quite likely in my opinion. 
And didn't Malfoy disarm Dumbledore on the tower?
