:JKR basically said in her interview that RAB is Regulus

: JKR: Ohhh, good.
: [All laugh.]
: JKR: No, I'm glad! Yes?
: MA: Can we figure out who he is, from what we know so far?
: [Note: JKR has adopted slightly evil look here]
: JKR: Do you have a theory?
: MA: We've come up with Regulus Black.
: JKR: Have you now?
: MA: Uh-oh.
: [Laughter.]
: JKR: Well, I think that would be, um, a fine guess.
Which could well mean she *wants* us to think that, i.e. it is a misdirection.
When the questioner is too close to the mark, she tends to respond with
a "no comment" rather than a confirmation.
I have a suspicion that RAB is a Black family member, but not the one
everyone is jumping to. I still wonder what Sirius's father's name was -
we are never told that (nor his mother's for that matter.) Having a son
murdered by or at the behest of V would be ample motivation for his
father to have turned against V. In OotP, we are told that the Black
family members were not deatheaters (apart from Regulus), but were
merely in favor of the attitude the DEs adopted (purity of blood being
so important.) In fact, you would think the Black's would have been less
supportive of V himself should they have discovered that he was of
only half-blood, having had a muggle father. Perhaps the thought of
a half-blood murdering their "pre-blood" son prompted them into
action?
