it might be regulus, like, thats who it obviously and logically might be, but we have no inclination as to his middle name. personally, i dont think JK would've made it that easy. shes a very witty person, and loves the unexpected. i think she'd relish in the fact that we set ourselves up thinking it was someone and turns out to be someone else completely obvious, like the Half Blood Prince

I would say Regulus Black, but that's too obvious for JK. She loves the unexpected. i bet it's someone who's been in the book all along.
But who else?
For now, our topmost choices are Regulus Black, or Amelia Bones, seeing as they both have ties to Voldemort.
There was also that girl in the cave: I think her last name was Benson? However, I do not think it's her.
I still believe it's Regulus. The last thing Rowling wants to do with the seventh book is introduce a new character that will have played a major role such as this. I definetly believe it is somebody who has already been in the books.
naw...don't think it would be Borgin or Burkes. whoever was in the store...forgot the name...was afraid of the Dark Mark, so whoever stole the Horcrux wouldn't have been afraid of him. it could be a new character, someone very important in Hogwarts past...but highly doubt it. For right now we have two very likely people, both killed by Voldemort, but it wouldn't have been Regulus, from what Sirius said about him...and Amelia is a very strong witch, but whose to say that the R.A.B. was killed by Voldemort? the person said that he/she would probably be dead before he had found it...or it could be Voldemort himself....think about it...he could have learned about the Horcruxes from Snape (if he is evil) and decided to make a phony letter and switch the locket,. either that it is a very smart wizard/witch that knows about Horcruxes...and Riddles past...which makes Regulus and Amelia out of the picture, unless they are really old, because Riddle was in Hogwarts fifty four years ago...
Well, whoever wrote the note wasn't killed by Voldemort, logically, because it said they would be dead by the time Voldemort had read the letter. For Voldemort to kill them himself, he would have already read the letter, no?
It could be Borgin or Burkes. True, that's another choice.
So, our choices are: Regulus, Amelia Bones, Borgin or Burkes, or the Benson girl in the cave.
Anybody else?

😂 Spot on there hotsauce... if they were already dead by the time Voldie read the letter then it would be too late for Voldie to kill them out of revenge, so it must have been someone else who killed RAB. Unless they killed themselves, could be a suicide... anyway, it could also be that Voldie killed RAB for something entirely different and then read the letter, which would show that all our evidence thus far is insubstantial because of all the possibilities.
*brainache*
Our choices all have definitive evidence but I've got the firmest feeling Rowling will rip the rug from under our feet right at the last moment, we're all going to be so shocked! At least, I hope she does... if the Harry Potter series doesn't end with a fabulous climax all faith I've ever had in talented authors will disappear.

Could sirius come back, if you look where JKR got the name for him ,
Sirius is also the brightest star in the sky it is also called the dog star, hence sirius tuns into a dog when he transforms into his animagus form.
astronomers have also discovered that sirus has another star with it, since sirius was so bright is outshone the other smaller star, so does sirus have another brother?
whose initials could be R.A. Black?
i was just thinking..... JKR has left so much possibilty of sirius coming back. I mean, falling behind a curtain???? And plus harry could hear voices coming from behind there. Sure lupin and everyone said he was dead, and maybe they're right, but maybe not. maybe its just my wishful thinking.... and i think there's a good chance that regulus is RAB, but he night not be!

Perhaps R.A.B. was dead by the time that Voldemort read the note due to the fact that he went on some kind of suicide mission, knowing that he could destroy the Horcrux in the cave, leave the note and a fake Horcrux in the basin, and fill it with green potion before the inferi killed him, but there really was no chance of escape in his weakened state after drinking the potion.

That makes absolutely no logical sense.
RAB could have known that Voldemort was going to track him and kill him shorty, but nabbed the Horcrux in secret first. There is absolutely no necessity for Voldemort to read the letter and THEN kill RAB.
Of course, there is no indication that Voldemort ever read it at all, and as far as I am myself is starting to speculate about it, I am starting with the question- Why WOULD Voldemort ever have cause to read that note? That being the case- why write it?

True. I should have worded what I meant better.
What I meant was, the person who wrote the note wasn't killed by Voldemort for writing the note, as it said that they would be dead by the time Voldemort had read the note.
Hope that clears it up. 😄
