Barring the introduction of a new character, there were a few characters who could have those initials running around, but then the fans got online and compared the line in various translated works across multiple languages and found that each separate translation had one character who was consistently on the list: [[spoiler:Regulus Arcturus Black]]. Not only that, but it spoiled where the Horcrux was taken, resulting in a massive IKnewIt in the next book.
