Alternate Clue Ending

[kaitou]

A lady at work and I were talking and she had the best idea.  Of course, there's know way of knowing, but I thought I'd run it by you guys and see what you think.  Basically everyone thinks that R.A.B. is Regulus Black.  But she was thinking that the B. could be for either Borgin or Burke!  And the more I thought about it, the more it made sense.

We know that there was a lot in Chamber of Secrets that is supposed to become important later.  That's the first time Harry ended up in Borgin & Burke's, and didn't they seem eager for anything belonging to You Know Who?  Could be they were collecting Horcruxes, and anything that could be a Horcrux.   (Please correct me if I'm wrong, I was going to double check before posting, but I think I left my copy of CoS in Detroit.)  It would make sense because Harry's already been there before, and you could have a few Horcruxes together.  He's got of them left....which bothers me, because to go off finding them and destroying them plus the whole showdown with Voldemort & other assorted necessary plot points seems like too much for just one book. 

Anyway, that's just an idea I thought I'd throw out.  What do you think?

i thought so too, but it can't be burke because his first name starts with a C. so it could be borgin, the guy currently behind the counter.

i think that regulus is the favorite because you want to have another connection to sirius. i mean, what if regulus faked his own death? sirius said he doubted voldemort killed regulus himself so...i was thinking, if wormtail could do it, then anyone could...
