But, well... I love this picture.
Anyway, poor Regulus... what a sad death!
The difference between Draco and Regulus, however, is why I love Regulus so much: Draco didn't have the courage to outright defy Voldemort like Regulus did. I remember a scene from the 7th book quite vividly where Harry is looking through Voldemort and watching him torture one of the Death Eaters - and then he makes Draco unleash the Cruciatus curse on the Death Eater. Draco very clearly doesn't want to do it. He's downright terrified - but he does it anyway.
Draco's terror causing him to not defy Voldemort is understandable and very human - but Regulus defying Voldemort is obviously more admirable, and human as well XD. Sirius also said something to the effect of "If you want to take a look at what a man is really like, watch how he treats his inferiors, not his equals." Regulus snapped and defied Voldemort when he discovered the torture and abuse Voldemort put Kreacher through to secure his Slytherin Horcrux locket, even though he had volunteered Kreacher for the job in the first place. I don't think Regulus (or anyone) knew what Voldemort was going to be using Kreacher to do.
The way Kreacher was so utterly devoted to Regulus went beyond the slavish worship that we see him give his mother's portrait in the 5th book, which makes me think that Regulus and Kreacher were quite close when growing up. Maybe Kreacher protected Regulus when Sirius got into nasty fights with their parents over blood purity?
