according to The Harry Potter Lexicon...it's not for sure for sure; JKR didn't say it herself

This was the update (I bolded some words I found important...):

R.A.B's indentity possibly confirmed
The Harry Potter Lexicon has reportedly confirmed the indentity of the mysterious R.A.B.

(highlight to read) --> Regulus Arcturus Black <--

The middle name is defined as "the fourth brightest star in the sky and the brightest star in the constellation Boötes, approximately 36 light-years from Earth."

It makes sense that Regulus's middle name would be of a star because that's where Sirius's name came from but I checked it out at The HP Lexicon and they didn't really make it clear about where they got the info from

About Petunia, I definately think that she'll do something "unexpected" or we'll find out something important about her in the next book.

That's kind of funny...because I think the first person I thought of when I was reading the book at 3 AM and saw the initials R.A.B. was Regulus. I mean, it's not like many wizarding families have a surname beginning with B to begin with.

I be sad that Dumbly died Still....I bet Snape will turn out to be good in the end...

Yeah me too, definately. Here's part of an JK Rowling interview that has to do with Petunia:

How does Aunt Petunia know about dementors and all the other magical facts she knows?

JK Rowling: Another very good question. She overheard a conversation, that is all I am going to say. She overheard conversation. The answer is in the beginning of Phoenix, she said she overheard Lily being told about them basically.

Is that true?

JK Rowling: Yes. The reason I am hesitant is because there is more to it than that. As I think you suspect. Correctly, but I don't want to say what else there is because it relates to book 7.

She's definately keeping something from us

There is going to be SO much Jo has to wrap up in book 7 that it's going to crack the 1000 page mark!



I mean, in almost every recent interview I've read, she keeps saying everyone will have to wait until book 7 to have their questions answered.

Yeah but she also keeps saying it'll be shorter than the Order of the Pheonix If she's going to answer all the questions we have I don't see how that's possible. I hope it's over 1000 pages!

I hope it's really long as well. She's been saying "you'll have to wait until book 7" since before The Goblet of Fire!

I heard that rumor!
I hope it turns out to be true

Oh me too! That's gonna be so huge when the 7th book comes out. It's been crazy enough with the other books! I think I'd definately go to one of those night before launch parties, if I could manage to drag one of my friends along I've never been to one before; I heard they were pretty good
