Speculation: Who is R.A.B. ????? (Spoiler Alert)

i dont know about tht?im really confused now ...because we have no date or time as too when the note was written or if its a male or female.old or young

well i can say one thing ...jk is certainly not predictable in any way shape or form

I agree with you, we could be discussing the R.A.B. until the Seventh book comes out in two years.

shes left no hard evidence at all for us to connect with ...its hard

i think there might be some small clues in the other books , but very minute ones tht dont seem of any importance

I could read each book a hundred times, and I probably wouldn't notice any clue to the R.A.B. even if it was in front of my face.

i suppose so ....

what kind of clues are we talking about anyways? Clues to what the horcruxes are or to Snape and what side he's on, or to the mysterious R.A.B.

the one and only mysterious R.A.B

looks like their isn't much left to talk about the R.A.B. unless someone else has something else to add.

I haven't read the entire thread, sorry if what I'm going to say has been already.

But I believe that R.A.B. is Regulus Black. All we know about him is that he was a Death Eater that betrayed Voldemort and was killed. Who's not to say that in his betrayal he swapped the lockets and destroyed the Horcrux? Remember in OotP when they're cleaning out Sirius's house, it says that one of the things they found was a heavy gold locket that none of them could open. That could be the locket that was Voldemort's Horcrux.

But I guess we'll have to wait until book 7 to find out for sure.....but that's what I believe.

No offense or anything to your theory, but I'm strongly against Regulus Black being the R.A.B. the best thing people had is his initials could be R.A.B and that he was a Death Eater. And the locket for all we know could belong to the Black family.

why would you chose Regulus, I need a good reason for someone to think its Regulus, besides his initials are practically R.A.B. because Dumbledore's and Madam Bone's are too. All they are missing is an R. And Regulus is missing an a

What do you mean, 'Dumbledore's and Madam Bone's'? Dumbledore's initials are D. (choose one) D. Madam Bone's--is Madam her first name? If so, then that would mean she would be M. (Something) B.

I never said my theory was right, I was just stating what I think and the evidence I've gleaned from the books that could support it. As we don't know Regulus's middle name (that I can recall), how he betrayed Voldemort, and where the locket in Sirius's house came from, we won't know for sure until book 7 is released.

Madam Bones' first name was Amelia. Dumbledore's full name was something really long that I can't remember but I do not remember there being an 'RAB' in that order in his initials......

I wasn't saying it was wrong, it could be right, but I don't think it's Regulus. And Hot Sauce, it could be DD because he could have a nickname from school or something, and Madam Bones isn't her real name. It starts with an a but I don't remember it.

Regulus Black is the best guess.

His known initials fit. He was known to have betrayed the Dark Lord. An unopenable locket was found in Grimmauld Place, which is the perfect place to hide it, as it was unplottable and Dumbledore was the secret keeper.

That's that. That's basically all of the evidence that can be found on this subject.

Other logical choices are only Madam Bones and the Bones family. However, Regulus Black is the best guess.

Simply put, Regulus Black is the best speculation so far. End of discussion, until more hard evidence is found. 🙂

Yep. And the line in the note, "as I face death", fits in with the fact that Regulus betrayed Voldemort. He KNEW he was going to die for betraying him, and indeed he was killed.

And the whole "Madam Bones was killed by Voldemort" argument...she was killed because she was a powerful witch and because as the Head of a Ministry Department, it would be a huge blow to the Ministry and to morale in general. Many powerful witches and wizards were being killed, so I don't take that as being any support of her being the one to have stolen the Horcrux.

Okay, so Madam Bones is out of the picture, unless Amelia was not really her first name, which is unlikely. And anyway, it can't be Dumbledore. He drank the friggin potion to find the locket.

I doubt he would forget something like that. 😄

Precisely.

Yeah, you'd think that'd be something you'd remember......😂
