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

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.

I find it interesting about the whole Snape loves Lily thing... It sounds reasonable. JKR said in an interview that Voldemort gave Lily a choice to move out of the way but she refused. Quite interesting...

Rowling says another 2 years till book 7... I really hope it's longer then book five, I was somewhat disappointed with the length of this book

I'ver heard rumors that its going to be pushing 1000 pages 😊

Er, have you read HBP? R.A.B. stole the real Horcrux and replace it with a fake one. I don't think Voldemort's gonna be too pleased that someone ran off with a seventh of his soul.

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?

You obviously don't know what I'm talking about!!!!!!!! Why would Regulus steal the Horcrux, if he worked for Voldemort??? Voldemort would have gotten it back! He knows basically everything. Like he knew that the Prophecy was smashed! So then Voldemort would have known that Regulus stolen it. Plus didn't Sirius say that Regulus wasn't bright or something like that, so how could he have done it??? Hello, THINK!!!

He could have defied Voldemort. And Voldemort only knew the prophecy was smashed because someone told him. I think he was bright enough to steal it and put it in the Blacks house.

No one told him that the prophecy was broke, he knew it was...how could someone tell him when the Death Eaters fought the Order. Has anyone lived if they defied Voldemort??? Regulus isn't that bright from what I've read. And if he did steal the Horcrux, then Voldemort would have killed him himself, instead of someone else.

yeah...and he may not have known it was a horcrux, he might just have thought it was important/valuable so he stole it

He knew it was a Horcrux, it was in the letter. I remember someone telling him it. And Voldemort doesn't control his DE, at least not back then. Remember, he stole it before Harry was born. Voldemort probably didn't know it was stolen until Regulas stole it, then killed him for doing it.

Voldemort did kill him, and Sirius never said he wasn't important enough to steal a Horcrux because Sirius is dead!

That was a typo and in the book it said that "He was probably killed on Voldemort's orders, I doubt he ever was important enough to be killed by Voldemort in person." He also tried to back out on the Dark Lord, it never said anything about stealing.

Note the words "probably" and "I doubt".

But that doesn't mean it is him. And what of his middle name, how do we know that it starts with an a? For all we know it could start with a z!

And for all we know it could be A.

How likely would that be though??? I bet that it is a new character, not Regulus. People jump to conclusions all because his first inital is a R, and his last is a B!

People jump to conclusions because he is the most likely character to match the mysterious R.A.B. We don't know what his middle initial is, and it is likely that it could be A. And remember that he died; Sirius didn't know how. He assumed. For now, mindlessly contradicting people for believing R. Black is R.A.B. is a very stupid thing to do.

I agree, and J.K. Rowling likes to put twists into stories, so it could be him to mess with us, or it might not, for one a lot of people think its him, and two, it could be someone else that was mentioned in one of the books.

nobody told Voldemort about the prophecy he read harry's mind read the book.i beleive that it is Regulas too.sorry if i spelled some stuff wrong

I don't think that he read their mind. He knows quite a bit of magic, other than reading peoples minds. He was able to speak without actually being at the Ministry.

he was there.
