Here is what the note said:
To the Dark Lord
I know I will be dead long before you read this, but I want you to know that it was I who discovered your secret. I have stolen the real Horcrux and intend to destroy it as soon as I can. I face death in the hope that when you meet your match you will be mortal once more.
R.A.B.
Born: 1961
Died: 1980
Regulus= meaning the 'little king' a star in Leo. Regulus was also the family name of Marcus Atilius Regulus, a famous Roman patriot/martyr who was tortured to death.
Arcturus= 'bear wathcer,' the Alpha star of the constellations Bootes the Herdsman. It is the fourth brightest star of the entire sky, following only Sirius, Canopus, and Alpha Centauri.
Black
= R.A.B.
Reguls was the younger brother of Sirius Black. Soon after leaving Hogwarts, he joined the Death Eaters.
He is the mysterious R.A.B. who stole the locket Horcux. Regulus' middle name and the fact that he is the infamous R.A.B. were confirmed ny a well-placed source August, 2005.
According to Sirius, "he [Regulus] got in so far, then panicked about what he was being asked to do, and tried to back out. Well, you don't just hand in your resignation to Voldemort. It's a lifetime service or death" Sirius believed that Voldemort had Regulus killed sometime during 1980 (the same year the prophecy was made, and Harry was born) However, it appears that Regulus did more than panic, he actually tried to weaken Voldemort by destroying one of his Horcruxes, even though he knew that it endangered his life.
I still do not know why/what turned Regulus against Voldemort, how he found out about the horcruxes, who killed Regulus, did Voldemort find out that the Horcruz was destroyed, or was Regulus killed for some other reason, or where the locket is now, but I do know that R.A.B. is Regulus.
Some other interesting facts:
Cousins:
Narcissa (Black) Malfoy, Andromeda (Black) Tonks, Bellatrix (Black) Lestrange, Andromeda's daughter Nymohadora Tonks, and Narcissa's son is Draco Malfoy. Arthur Weasly is a second cousin once removed -gasps-
OK, I will be really surprised if R.A.B. is not Regulus, for there are facts right there, and also J.K. Rowling said that there would be no new characters added into the next book, just minor characters that might have just been mentioned in previous books, would become main/important characters, which makes sense.
It all fits!
