RAB is against the Dark Lord... and as for their being business men, why couldn't they have an exciting life on the side?
why doesn't we just stop wondering about who R.A.B is??
Of course JKR wouldn't be stupid enough to leave a major clue, revealing who he/she is, and even more sure is that someone would have discovered it by now.
I COULD be Regulus, nothing more to say, everything else is said. It's not necessary to repeat it like a hundred times, the locket in grimauld's place and everything else
sorry for spelling!!

Please read what you posted here, and then edit it.
Seriously. 😐
I have no idea what you said.
I reckon it's amy benson, the girl from the orphanage whom Voldemort terrified in that cave. If she was a witch, it goes that she would have an odd first name, Minerva for example. Hence, in a muggle orphanage, assuming her middle name is amy, she would obviously be known by her middle name. Furthermore, JKR wouldn't make it so obvious to be Regulus. Besides, Sirius has already said that his brother was worthless.

well, that's just sirius' opinion, mind you.
But that's a good theory. Did the book mention if she was dead? I can read back to where DD was in the orphanage about to take Voldemort to Hogwarts..

nah. I dont think its her. I dont think its anybody we know.
Amy Benson...interesting, but how would she know how to get there...
she was not a death eater, and LV didn't made the horcrux when they were together in the cave, so she would still need to be an amazingly great witch to get past and to the potion.
but if she got so far, perhaps the potion has something to do with the trip to the cave with Tom riddle, so she might have recognised the potion, and then she might have known what it was....
I think we have to think a bit more logic now.
The potion is IMO the big clue, as DD proved it could not have been drunk of only one person. this leave us with not that many possibilities of who RAB is. I have concluded that RAB has to be one person, as this was pretty clearly whe reading the note.
1. the potion wasn't the same as RAB drunk, RAB filled the basin up with another potion! - this seems quite unlikely to me, but since we not was told that the basin fulfilled itself, it is possible. this would also explain how RAB could have done it alone, and it will say that RAB is very skilled at potions (which i believe he/she is)
2.the potion works differently, depending on what or who you are, for example powerful wizards as DD will react more than other wizards. - this opens up an interesting theory, maybe RAB was a magical creature? this is anyway very unlikely.
3. RAB knew how the potion worked, and had brought a bezoar or something like that. - this seems like the most logical idea to mee. RAB had inside information from either LV or another DE who knew the secret. if RAB knew LV, it would be natural to conclude with regulus, but the big clue pointing away from this is; sirius said that regulus wasn't a very skilled wizard, and not important to LV. Why should then LV betray his deepest secrets to regulus, if he wasn't of any importance?
I think RAB could have filled the basin with the Draught of Living Death, somehow alerted DD and that's how DD looked as though he was dead. I think RAB, DD and Snape are all on the same side... along with the entire Order of the Phoneix. I think DD is an unregistered Animagi (a phoenix) and that he's not dead at all... it's all a elaborate plan to make Voldemort careless, so Harry and the rest of the good guys can eventually kill him.
