It can only be regulus bcoz rowling hasn't given us any other characters to fit the clues....... yet.

JK lets us think its Regulus in her mugglenet/leakycauldron interview:



MA: Can we figure out who he is, from what we know so far?

[Note: JKR has adopted slightly evil look here]

JKR: Do you have a theory?

MA: We've come up with Regulus Black.

JKR: Have you now?

MA: Uh-oh.

[Laughter.]

JKR: Well, I think that would be, um, a fine guess.

MA: And perhaps, being Sirius’s brother, he had another mirror –

JKR: [drums fingers on soda can]

MA: Does he have the other mirror, or Sirius’s mirror —

JKR: I have no comment at all on that mirror. That mirror is not on the table. [Laughter from all; Jo's is maniacal.]

Regulus is the only one who is fitting and HpLexicon is certain about him being R.A.B.
It could be him but from what Sirius has told about him, it doesn't fit. But Sirius could also be wrong about Regulus but if Regulus was a nice person, why didn't he take help of his brother who openly showed hatred to the Dark side. I'm confused! Confused

Regulus's whole name:-
Spoiler:

Regulus Arcturus Black

i read a theory someware that regulas black is still alive, if you remember siuris said that he was dead, rowling has never actualy confirmed that fact. so he could still be alive out there looking for some horcruxes

Spoiler:

JKR comfirmed this a while ago... mugglenet had it up. it is Regulus Arcturus Black. (arcturus is a bright star that can be found by drawing a line from polaris {the north star} to spica, then arcing to arcturus) Think of the locket in the blacks home when the weasleys and harry were cleaning the drawing room. they found a heavy locket that couldn't open.

I don't think that Regulus is still alive, i mean don't you think we would have found out about it by now - we found out about Peter, we even found out about Bertha and even Crouch Jr [in fact we even found out Lord V's uncle was dead][/spoiler]. i think that if JKR has not told us that Regulus is alive by now that is totaly evil.

From what i read Regulus wasn't that brave, but if he did manage to find and destroy a hocrux belonging to Lord V then he must have been clever, wouldn't it then be careless if he left said object in his house where dear cousin Bella could have found it and posibly snitched?
Hey is it a posibility we know who he/ she is but we know him/her by a different name? eg like the Marauders
I don't know maybe you guys are right about Regulus but i'm not that convinced yet

Hey, i have just had an Idea, stupid but an idea non the less, what if

[/spoiler][Slughorn is RAB, i mean it's a stupid idea i know but what if he felt some remorse at telling Tom about the Hocruxes that he went in search for one, I mean he is a potion master and all that, he could have descovered how to evade some of the enchantments, of course i realise that this theory has a lot os flaws - like Slughorn not wanting to cross LV, His name is very far from the anitials in the locket, He seems vain, He is a coward, and there is also the posibility that he does not care, not to mention he likes to brag ( meaning he could have let it slip if he did something with the Hocruxe) - but it is a posibility Embarassed everyone is a suspect - the grownups anyway - until we know who it is. Hey we can all get carried away - be paranoid more like - and analyse everyone we have ever met in the series - i mean it's gotta be someone we know it's kind of late to introduce someone new, hey you don't think it's Peter do you? nah stupid idea.][spoiler]

i think slughorn's not good enough to find it. the horcrux was well hidden and well protected.

Okay, well I was reading the OotP again this week and Harry did find a heavy locket he couldn't open when they were cleaning out a cupboard in the room where the family tree is. Maybe he stored it there before he killed. It said in the HBP when Hermione was looking through the Daily Prophet there was an article about Igus Karakoff (spelling>) being found dead and then Hermione said, "I'm surprised he lasted tha long, Regulus only had 2 days. "

So maybe he got the Horcruxes and fled to Grimmauld place, hid the Horcruxe and then got killed. ???

I think it's Regulus Black, too, but it may be a new character that will appear in Book 7.

I think it was regulus because lv must have had a good reason to kill him so quick. Karakoff lasted a long time compared to regulus and i think lv is able to tell where deatheaters are though the dark mark. Mabe the locket that was found drawing room was lv Horcruxes and lv killed him so quick because he did not want regulus to have time to destroy it. Question Question

I seriously doubt if the locket in the drawing room was a Horcrux.
Even if R.A.B isn't Regulus(it probably is) it has to be a former Death Eater. In the note, R.A.B refers to Voldie as "the Dark Lord", a title only Death Eaters use.

It's got to be regulus. He's the only character that fits what everything says on the note. Evrything points to him and makes sense so it's got to be him...don't see no reason why it ought to be anyone else but we'll have to wait and see.

when karkaroff is found dead up north, lupin said it was surprising he lasted so long, that sirius's brother, regalus, only lasted a few weeks after betraying the death eaters.
could regalus have learned about the locket while being a death eater then in the few weeks after he escaped found and destroyed it.


Spoiler:

Also jkr mentions regalus an awful lot in HbP considering he is never seen in any of the books nor has he made any type of significance

Spoiler:

Voldemort created the Hoxruses quite early. Even before Voldemort died. The whole Black family could of been framed so that why the brothers went to Azkaban. Regulas could of easily destroyed the Horcrux before he died. But I don't think he is dead ... And whats to say he didn't destroy another one??? ( Its not really a spoiler but the Hide and Show thing is cool ... Laughing

Wait this is a very weird theory, and a bit off topic.

Remember that Mundungus was stealin stuff from the Black's house and Harry nearly caught him in Hogsmeade. Maybe Mundungus was accidently sellin the horcrux that Regulus hid in Grimauld place.

Now back to topic
Quote:
To the Dark Lord
I know I will be dead long before you read this
but I want you to know that it was I who discovered your secret.
I have stolen the real Horcrux and intend to destroy it as soon as I can.
I face death in the hope that when you meet your match
you will be mortal once more.
R.A.B.


So R.A.B knew that he was gonna die and he most probably is dead, like Regulus is.
