Ok Harry Potter fans, who do you think R.A.B is? I have a hunch but I'm just curious what you all think.

Well, I know everyone thinks it is Regulus Black, and I think that is a major possibility, but I say it is way to obvious for Rowling. I think we need to look past the obvious. What I have been thinking is that it is Mr. Borgin of Borgin and Burkes. Voldemort (when he was young and still considered Tom Riddle) worked in Borgin and Burkes, so Borgin would have worked with him and known him, and known where to find the locket.

I think that R.A.B. is Sirius' brother, Regulus Black. We know that he was a Death Eater, and that he was later killed because he wanted out. I believe that he stole the real locket Horcrux, tried to destroy it, but it ended up at his childhood home at Number 12, Grimmauld Place. In Order of the Phoenix (American Edition) on page 116, "a heavy locket that nobody could open" is mentioned. I think that this is the real Horcrux, and now that Harry owns Grimmauld Place, he, Hermione, and Ron will go there and discover it. Here is what J.K. Rowling had to say about R.A.B. in an interview with Melissa Anelli and Emerson Spartz of The Leaky Cauldron and Mugglenet fansites:
MA: R.A.B.
JKR: Ohhh, good.
[All laugh.]
JKR: No, I'm glad! Yes?
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.]

Rien A Branler... I think she is making fun of everybody with this acronym that in French means that you do not give a s....t ... I am not sure that in the French edition the name is R.A.B. is used because everybody would laughed out loud...

I'm pretty sure its Sirius's cousin, Regulus ___ Black. Alot of other people believe its that too but we don't know for sure. And what is the middle name?
