But this story is not true - I mean, Regulus was not killed by the 
DEs, right? So it's not like someone who really knew what happened 
told Sirius. No one knew the truth except for Kreacher, and Kreacher 
didn't tell anybody. 

But I agree that Sirius found out somehow that Regulus had second 
thoughts about being a DE (this part of the story, as Sirius knows 
it, is very close to the truth), and maybe then he (Sirius) just 
assumed that Regulus was killed by the DEs. 

I have no idea who could have known about Regulus's change of heart 
to tell Sirius. Is it possible that Regulus talked to someone on our 
side? I don't know. Maybe Regulus did some research on Horcruxes, and 
someone noticed? Or maybe, being young and inexperienced, he couldn't 
hide his feelings in front of other DEs and they guessed? Then, when 
he disappeared and was presumed dead, the DEs would think that he was 
eliminated because of his doubts. Some of them (Bella?) could have 
told Sirius about it later in Azkaban.

Anyway, you are right that it would be interesting to find out the 
whole story. I would like to think that it was Snape who told DD, and 
DD told Sirius, but unfortunately, Snape wasn't yet on our side when 
Regulus died ;-(.

zanooda:

Aurors are supposed to be "Dark wizard catchers". There is no dark 
magic in regurgitating toilets :-)!

They monitor the situation around Harry, I guess.
