Regulus Black is my guess too. The note did say by the time you read this I will already be dead... but then again I started thinking... Regulus would have had to drink it like Dumbledore and need help.... so what if R.A.B. is three people?
Also, I don't think Snape's fully bad. I think DD wanted Snape to kill him, to help Harry.

I don't think its Regulus. Think about it. If he did place the horcrux in the cave, then why did Voldemort kill him, instead of being rewarded. And I think Sirius would know, because, Kreatcher and Sirius's mum would be boasting about it. Just thought I would offer my opinion.

Look at this quote:Spoiler:
"And Harry saw very clearly as he sat there under the hot sun how people who cared about him had stood in front of him one by one, his mother, his father, his godfather, and finally Dumbledore, all determined to protect him; but now that was over. He could not let anybody else stand between him and Voldemort; he must abandon forever the illusion he ought to have lost at the age of one, that the shelter of a parent's arms meant that nothing could hurt him. There was no waking from this nightmare, no comforting whisper in the dark that he was safe really, that it was all in his imagination; the last and greatest of his protectors had died, and he was more along than he had ever been before." (p.645)Now that his final protector (Dumbledore) has died, Harry is alone and only alone can he truely be strong enough to defeat Voldemort. He has to go on alone, and he could not do that until he no longer had the protection of Dumbledore and the others. I think his death was eminent and necessary to the continuation and completion of the series.
But what about Mcgonnagol(sp?) Even though she didn't seem like much of an adult figure to Harry before, he did mention in OotP (I'm gonna try to quote, but don't have the book on me) "Dumbledore has been gone before, but never Mcgonagoll, She had always been there, no matter what.( or something like that)

I think Regulus left the note. Who else do we know with the initials 'R' and 'B' ?

That makes no sense at all. 😐
You know the thing about R.A.B being three People, i think it isnt true.
Maybe he replaced the potion with another one so that Dumbledore refused to drink it and said all that stuff? After all he would have to drink it too...
And i have had a very wierd idea, see when Voldemort tried to kill Harry
he transferred some of his own powers into him, so since Harry is the heir of Gryffindor could he be a Horcrux?
I think Dumbledore believed Snape because Snape loved Lily (which gave him another reason to despise James). I think Harry got it wrong that Snape was sorry James and Lily died. He thought Voldemort would kill James and Harry. He didn't expect Lily to die for Harry.
By the way, any rumors yet on how long we'll have to wait for Book 7? I pretty sure all of us have everything wrong, and Book 7 will be full of surprises we never anticipated.
Well about the R. A. B thing, person, i dont know...how many people know about the horcruxes now that you think of it... Voldemorts being to obvious then with those horcruxes thingys, dumbledore knew about them now this anonymous R. A. B, just as weird as everything else.
And about Snape...I really think he is evil i mean worse than evil he is VERY EVIL! Cause if it was all part of Dumbledores plan for harry to find the courage why did Dumbledore plead Snape not to do it(kill him) it was clearly stated that when Dumbledore saw Snape he pleaded, not something Dumbledore would do and it is a little strange that Dumbledore the greatest wizard was killed just liked that though and not even Voldemort himself could kill him the year before...Its all very confusing...Oh gosh i wish the last book would come out soon i couldnt sleep at all when i finished the book after crying like a baby after Dumbledores death...I thought this book was very tragic and frustrating...but lets see what she has in the last book maybe there would be something that could cheer me up...
yeah but how does anyone know dumbledore was pleading with snape NOT to kill him? maybe he was begging him to kill him....it just seems very strange to me to think that dumbledore trusted snape for just that reason? also why would jkr give us such a forshadowing in the beginning of the book that snape was a two timer unless it was to throw us off?
