Right, actually what I want to say is just "me three". I felt 
precisely as you did when I read that passage, but I should not 
say " me too", hehe, so I am thinking that there is something else 
that shows that Sirius and Regulus had some sort of the relationship 
which is more than animosity.

Remember when Slughorn says that he would love the set of Black 
brothers in HBP? ( paraphrasing). I don't know for some reason it 
struck me as Slughorn seeing them as brothers, not just as enemies.
