Did Hermione actually see it? She's usually on top of those sorts of things.
2.) This was pointed out in a locked post, so I can't link to it, but I read a really, really pissed off rant about the sudden Tonks/Lupin love match. The poster was irate that such a blatant sign that said "Remus Lupin is a heterosexual" needed to be put in the book, especially given all of the subversive evidence to the contrary in other books.
3.) The Snape theory in Mircalla's journal above is being fleshed out in the comments. There's an interesting observation that if Harry is an inadvertent Horcrux, Ginny may also be one from events in CoS, which may bring a new definition to the word "soulmate."

I'm thinking maybe it wasn't Snape's handwriting (which has been described in other books -- differently from how it's described in this book). Maybe it was his mother's.
ETA: In reading that livejournal thing, someone asked about how R.A.B. got into/out of the cave. What I'm wondering is how the potion refilled in the basin? I mean, I guess he (I'm assuming it's Regulus) had to drink it, like Dumbledore did, then he apparated back to Grimmauld Place (or wherever) to hide it, and then died. So, who put the potion back in the basin? Where did that person get it? Or is it like one of those horse water-basins, where when it's empty, a little sprinkler goes on and fills it back up. (Or like a dentist's sink, if you prefer.)
