Nevermore?
Nov. 1st, 2005 07:50 amThis is the most crack theory I've ever come up with - yes, more than Manchurian Candidate!Ron, or Thestral-to-the-Hut!Hagrid. But I'm just going to toss it out for the shredding...

teawithvoldy asked how Reg, if he is RAB, learned that Voldemort was making horcrustaceans, when other, more trusted advisors didn't, and it's possible, I think, that the Blacks may be descendents of Ravenclaw.
Ravens are, of course, black, and raven, especially in connection with hair, is sometimes a synonym for Black. We know at least two sets of founder-descendents no longer have the founder-surname as their last name - the Smiths and Gaunts - so why not have the Blacks as descendents of Ravenclaw?
Which might have resulted in Voldemort trying to obtain or utilize something belonging to Ravenclaw - perhaps the tapestry itself? - which Reg had access to, and that's how he figured it out.
So, unleash the hounds - tear it to shreds.
