Half-Blood Prince Discussion, Spoilers Options

[jordanriane]

Since Anna mentioned a new topic for discussion of the book, I figured I'd just create the new topic, that way people can talk about the book here, instead of in the other thread, that people can use who haven't finished/read the book yet.

and i also know who  RAB is.

Regulus Black, the brother of sirius black, who was murdered by the dark lord ages ago.

How were you able to figure that it was him?



The only real problem I had with this book, was the first chapter, with the Minister. I don't really see that it was too relevent, other then telling us that the muggle world saw these deaths are regular murders (aside from trying to figure out how someone died when they were alone and locked up) and whatnot.. But it was just really irrelevent, and ticked me off that it had really little meaning with the rest of the book.

Maybe it'll tie in for book 7, hopefully.

First off The book was a disapointment but anyways I digress
- RAB is not regulus Black because it seems too obvious and JK would never be that obvious.
I believe that 2 People Framed Regulus Black-- which goes along with the story because througout the book we heard about people getting framed for example Morphin and Hufflepuffs Descendants elf. but then again if indeed it was regulus black then it is possible that kreacher must know what happened to the real horcrux which I believe is the "heavy" locket that harry found at 12GM in OoTP.

Another theory that I have made is that Snape had told DD about his Unbreakable vow and therefore Snape and DD had made a plan which resulted in DD dying.. At the end DD wouldve died either way seeing as if he was surrounded by DE and if Snape hadnt killed DD then he wouldve died and then if Snape died the OoTP would never find out whats going on with Voldemort. Snape is now the only link between voldemort and the order and he is a useful member.
I also believe that the reason why DD trusted snape was because snape had the ability to love, which as DD mentioned in the book Voldemort did not!! and he made that clear to harry because he said the reason why harry is more powerful is because of his ability to love... I believe that Snape Loved Harrys mom Lily potter.. and that would explain why Lily was such a "GOOD" potions maker-- Snape lended her his notes on Potion making and obviously she would give it to James and thats why Snape Compared Harry to his Dad -- cuz his dad used his potions and Snapes Spells against him--- This theory would also explain why Snape was sadened when he found out of Lily's death and why Snape despised Harry- I think that Snape blamed Harry for lily's death..

Woah I type tooo much lol well its only a theory =/
