Oh, you are so right about Sirius and Bellatrix - how could I have forgotten that! Interesting about Draco,too; he seems to have as many twins as Harry does. Draco/Dudley, Draco/James, Draco/Regulus and perhaps even Draco/Severus. Yet, up till HBP, he seemed a very minor character. Are all these possible pairs a hint that he is more important than we have imagined? It's true that Draco does seem a lot like Regulus, but I didn't think of it because we don't really know anything about Regulus except second hand. He is directly compared to Severus, at least in Harry's mind, and I think that's misleading. I think Harry is to Severus as Draco is to James.
It's also true that there are lots of trios in the series. Jodel points to Harry, Severus, Voldemort and also Harry, Severus, Hagrid. And - as Greenwoodside and Jodel point out - all four are apparently fatherless boys with a personal connection to Dumbledore. Hard to know what to make of that!
