> I  would have agreed with you that Hermione seems unnaturally
dense about this, had I not recently had a conversation with a very
bright friend of mine who is just now reading the HP series (I'm
loaning him my Bloomsbury edition volumes).  He has finished book 6
and has NO IDEA who RAB is.  He won't let me tell him (rightfully
so), but I was considerably taken aback that he has neither
connected RAB with Regulus, nor has he made the connection between
the locket found in Grimmauld Place and the horcrux.

Cherry:
Well I can see where Hermione and the others wouldn't pick up on who
RAB is because they should know many characters that we don't
because it is their world not ours.  We only associated Regulus
Black with RAB because he was the only character we knew that had
those initails.  Plus if you think about it, in most books a
character isn't mentioned unless they have a little bit of
importance in the book. I mean if someone gave the initials of a
person that you talked about in a casual situation and the name
didn't mean much to you because you didn't know this person.  Would
it stick with you if you had to guess the name?
