Well, I'm not great at anagrams...but did get Spier's den(nn!) from 
spinner's end (where Snape lives!) so there could be something of 
importance in Stubby Boardman that we're missing. 

Another theory...well, some questions, that i've had about R.A.B are 
the followng:

Hermione, at the end of HBP, said she'd been looking for R.A.B.
How could she possibly miss Regulus (supposedly A.) Black, if it was 
him?
Are we to assume that actually his middle name isn't Alphard?
Or did he not complete his education at hogwarts, like Draco and 
Harry probably won't at least, so his name isn't on whatever list 
Hermione no doubt uncovered of past students? Remember, she found 
the Prince girl, Snape's mother...so...why would she be unable to 
find Regulus?
However, despite that, it's possible that Kreacher helped Regulus 
because Regulus is a Black after all, and in his parents' eyes at 
least, an 'honourable' Black (as we hear constantly from his 
mother's painting - a red herring perhaps? Or a clue?), so Kreacher 
would have followed R's order with little/no questioning, R. could 
have just said "this is for lord v., top secret!". Or maybe, 
Kreacher knew what was going on, and betrayed Regulus, therefore R. 
got murdered? 

There seems to be too many unanswerables (for now) to allow us to 
come up with fresh theories on this. Ideas? Eek!
