From www.mugglenet.comDebunked Rumors Before each Harry Potter book comes out, there are always people who will try to turn theories they've concocted into fact, or even those who will simply create rumors for the fun of it. Currently, there are a few about Book 7 and below you can find the ones which JKR has debunked. Character Information •Dumbledore is really dead. He is not in hiding and is not coming back.  •Dumbledore is not Harry's relative •Harry is not related to Voldemort and he is not related to Salazar Slytherin  •Lily Potter is not alive •Lily was not a Death Eater •Crookshanks is not an Animagus •Neville is not the son of Peter Pettigrew •Remus Lupin does not have a twin brother •Petunia is not a Squib •Dumbledore is not Harry/Ron from the future •Mrs Norris/Crookshanks will not be discovered as an Animagus Plot Information •Harry will not become Minister for Magic •Peter Pettigrew’s silver hand will not kill Lupin •Lupin will not return as a DADA professor •The prophecy refers to Harry, and not in any way to Neville •The final part of the prophecy does not mean Harry has to kill Neville, or vice versa Other •No prequel books are planned (no books before Harry's time at Hogwarts) •"Keeper of the Keys" has no secret meaning •The Sorting Hat is not a horcrux |

Dumbledore is really freaking dead?  Well there goes one of my and my friend's speculations that he's still alive and the one that they buried was only a transfigured object  The identity of RAB - I actually got a hint from a friend regardig this RAB guy He said that RAB can be found in Order of the Phoenix so I re-read Order and presto! RAB is indeed in the Order and he's a member of the Black family...in my and my friend's opinion While also looking for this mysterious RAB, I accidentally found Slythering's Locket in Order of the Phoenix too!  The location of the missing locket greatly increases the chances that RAB is indeed who I think it is My friend also gave me this insight as to why RAB is this specific member of the Black family Clue: What's the difference between Lord Voldemort's nicknames: " He who should not be named" and " The Dark Lord" I'll let you guys guess first as to who RAB is and then I'll let you know if both of our theories are correct

well the said rumours are somewhat true and can happen in the last book...sadly Dumbledore is really dead or JK wants us to believe that he is dead so that the element of suprise wouldnt be ruined.....
well for me RAB is indeed a part of the Black family..he/she could be Sirius' cousins ryt?
and you say he/she's also a member of the Order...
the members of the Order who's related to Sirius are Arthur and Molly Weasley and Nymphadora Tonks
accdng to my research over the net...the ONLY Black member in the family tree whos name starts with R is Regulus Black, Siriu's brother...so my theory is RAB could be Regulus Black...
ok heres the list of the members of the Order(Living and dead)
Sirius Black, Albus Dumbledore, Dedalus Diggle, Elphias Doge, Aberforth Dumbledore, Arabella Figg, Dung Fletcher, Hagrid, Molly, Arthur, Bill and Charlie Weasley, Hestia Jones, Remus Lupin, Prof. McGonagall, Mad Eye Moody, Sturgis Podmore, Snape, Kingsley Shacklebolt, Tonks, Emmeline Vance, Edgar Bones,Caradoc Dearborn, Benjy Fenwick, Frank and Alice Longbottom, Marlene McKinnon, James and Lily Potter, Dorcas Meadowes, Peter Pettigrew,Gideon and Fabian Prewett...
so which of them are RAB?
FYI....found this on my research on RAB
Regulus Black (1961 - 1979)
(SEE Black, Regulus) Regulus is suspected by many to be the mysterious R.A.B. who stole the locket Horcrux (HBP).
ha! so maybe my theory would be correct...Regulus, Sirius' brother, could be RAB...

the list is entitled "Debunked" Rumors and if i remember it right debunked means disapproved proposal: why are those lines debunked?
"A slang term for the disproval of a proposal or theory, generally in an academic sense. It originated in 1923, when American novelist William Woodward (1874-1950) used it to mean to "take the bunk out of things."
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debunk
Difference: WHSHOUNOBENMER who ever RAB would be... i would not be suprised if it is a new character. ^^ potter books always have a new character.
as for the locket? was it the cursed locket that Katie has touched?

Oopsss...I meant RAB can be found in the Book Order of the Phoenix...not in the Order of The Phoenix group Yup...i think it's also Regulus Black because of the letter RAB left inside the fake locket The clue is there in the letter hehehe! |

hah.... so it really must be Regulus Black whos RAB... i gave my book 5 to my nephew coz he's more a die hard HP fan than me....but i have book 6... and also remember Dumbledore "died" and Sirius "died" or disappeared before Harry can ask them who RAB is here's my speculation about how Harry can find out whos RAB... 1. he owns now no. 12 Grimmauld Place (Sirius' family's house)...maybe he would try to research/ to look again the Black Family Tree... as for me i will wait patiently for the arrival of the last book here...which means it could be on July for that month the 5th movie will be shown ATTENTION!!! check out this websites in accordance to who RAB might be and could be also Regulus.... www.beyondhogwarts.com/harry-potter/articles/who-is-rab-and-where-is-slytherins-locket.htmlwww.answers.com/topic/r-a-b |

Yo Redranger! Thanks for the link! The explanations written there are valid and ery good and are indeed supporting that RAb is Regulus Black like what I a nd my friend was thinking There's one missing explanation though that explains that Regulus is indeed RAB  Well, here it is: Remember my clue about what's the difference between Lord Voldemorts aliases/nicknames or whatever as to what's the difference between "he who must not be named; you know who" and "the Dark Lord"? Well here it is "He who must not be named; you know who" are the names uttered by people who are afraid of Voldemort. "the Dark Lord" is the name uttered by Death Eaters/former Death Eaters This is explained in the somewhere in the 5th or 6th Harry potter book wherein Harry confronts Serverus about why he kept calling Lord Voldemort "The Dark Lord" and Severus was a former Death Eater. |

ur welcome bro gian...
u are correct..those who are afraid of Voldemort called him "He who must be named" "you know who"
and those who support/worship him inc. his Death Eaters (former and presendT called him "The Dark Lord"
indeed Snape is a former (or is he really?) Death Eater..his royalties are still questioned....
Regulus (accdng to Sirius) is a Death Eater that betrayed Voldemort..so i guess he could be really RAB and he took the locket....
but what if Kreacher had the locket for he always take the possessions of the Black family...
