People want to complain that Horace Slughorn wasn’t a well written Slytherin, but trashing your house, faking your death and transfiguring yourself into an armchair to avoid an uncomfortable conversation is about as Slytherin as it gets.

After Sirius is badly hurt by Walburga, Regulus takes him to the Potters, where Euphemia takes him under her wing until Sirius is awake and healed. They have days baking and playing piano, James, Fleamont are all huge quidditch and have days spend on their brooms. When Sirius wakes up he realises Regulus has fit in perfectly with his found family, and the potters don’t plan on letting the two Black brothers go..

<33 regulus and euphemia mother son bond supremacy

By far my favorite “weakness cancels out strength” dynamic in Harry Potter is that Remus has such a naturally strong and persuasive personality. People Listen To Him and he doesn’t have to even try. He stops whole arguments in their tracks, he is capable of cutting right to the heart of someone and making them feel So Bad.

but then he’s deathly afraid of ever telling anyone to do anything because they might get mad at him

In which Walburga told baby Regulus that 'Black's do not bend to anyone', so years later, when there's this wannabe Dark Lord with no actual pureblood linage (Salazar family line never continued as far as he knows) and he sees his family becoming pathetic for following a nobody, he refuses to acknowledge their desires for him to be a Death Eater (and his whole family in general for being disgraces to the Black name) and, instead, works to find ways of preserving their good name once this whole insanity was over.

Regulus, to Sirius who was going to the Potters: It's better if you leave now, brother. I, for my part, will stay here to uphold the true name of the Blacks and their values: elegance, power, and greatness. I have no time to waste in the pathetic games of a nobody our parents so disgracefully have fallen for.

BAMF regulus!! BAMF regulus!!
