it would be less lame if VM had killed someone who loved him back.
Agreed, and I can see Regulus fitting this slot far better than Lily Evans. The enmity between Severus and Sirius, the connection with Narcissa and (to an extent) Bellatrix – these would fall into place very easily if Severus and Regulus were tight pals and fellow DEs. It would also help explain why Snape went to Dumbledore; perhaps Sev & Reg both became disillusioned with Voldemort at the same time and tried to get out. Regulus dies and Snape's on the run, perhaps?
