Claudia:
You know, I think that you have a major point there. How can
someone who claims to have hated her sister more than anything
just take in her son in just like that (snap!)? I think that she
didn't hate Lily because she was a witch, but because she wasn't
blessed with the same gifts. I think that she lived vicariously
through Lily and hung around her like a younger sibling would.
During which time, she met the Black Brothers and fell head over
heels in love with Regulus.

But whether he returned the love or she thought he died,
something made her turn her back to the wizarding world. I don't
think that he would have given her the locket, if LV knew she
had it, he would kill her. I don't think he would have done
anything to hurt her. If there is something to this theory, I
hope that JKR clears it up in book 7.
