Did Voldemort plan to set Regulus up?

[sunnyskywalker]

Kreacher tells us that Regulus joined the Death Eaters when he was sixteen. Which at first sounds unimportant. After all, Draco too (if we accept Harry’s prejudiced jump to that conclusion—but let’s do so for the sake of argument) took the Dark Mark at that age. And Voldemort seems to recruit most of his followers young, when they’re easier to manipulate.

Except… Draco wasn’t exactly a typical case, was he?( And he wasn't special in a good way. )
