Aussie: 

Let me guess. An elf already sent you an email saying it is less 
confusing to ask one question at a time. Each of the ones you asked 
can be thrashed out again, and are good questions. Let us discuss 
one at a time. So i will only answer one , or 2 .... ok, 3.

Aussie:

Dumbledore (DD) knew something in GOF (Goblet Of Fire), and his 
attitude to Harry in OOTP(Order Of The Phoenix) was very aloof - DD 
kept Harry at a distance. It turned out that Harry was able to feel 
Lord Voldemort's (LV's) mood. Plus whenever Harry looked at DD, he 
wanted to attack him, as LV would have, given the opportunity.

LV didn't expect Harry to live long enough to use that blood 
connection and wasn't even fully aware of Harry's perception. It was 
this that helped Harry save Arthur Weasley when the snake attacked 
him. DD wasn't sure how much LV got from Harry and either kept him 
away for the Order's plans or got Harry to study Occlumency.

It was Harry's failure in Occlumency that made it easy for Snape to 
know what spell Harry was going to use, not the blood connection. 

LV would also have been aware what spell Harry was using in the 
graveyard, but didn't know Harry's wand had the same core as his. 
That was the only reason Harry didn't join his ancestors at that 
time.

Aussie:

#2 - The locket that no-one could open was thrown out, hidden by 
Kreatcher, or stolen by Mundungus and sold to the Hog's Head Barman 
or someone Harry can find in Book 7.
#5 - In Book 1 (PS/SS), there was a mention of Ollivanders having 
a "... single wand lay on a faded purple cushion in the dusty window"
If LV didn't finish off his Horcruxes yet, we may learn that wand 
belonged to Ravenclaw. That may be why Ollivander's shop was a 
victim in Half Blood Prince (HBP).

And Yes, RAB is Regulus Black. We discussed how in foreign 
languages, Sirius has a different surname when translated, and the 
initials also changed to RAN or RAX or whatever.
