I hope that's enough space...
~The pale teenager hanging about on the day of the murders--I thought
this was the younger Tom Riddle (Voldemort), as it was 50 years ago. My
guess is that the 50 years if from when Tom/Voldemort was 18 (though I
did wonder about that)... and that perhaps the murders happened around
the time he finished at Hogwarts.

~My guess is that the murder to be committed was that of Mad-Eye
Moody...that perhaps Wormtail and Crouch Jr. were supposed to do
this. Dumbledore had hired Moody as DADA professor, and V. knew that Moody
would seriously stand in the way of anyone trying to get to Harry. But
Moody wasn't, in fact, murdered, so I'm not sure about this. I guess the
plan was to eventually murder him, after he had been useful in providing
his hair for the Polyjuice Potion for Crouch Jr. But I think Moody was
that one person standing in the way. What surprises me is that it took
Dumbledore so long to realize that Moody wasn't REALLY Moody. I mean, I
didn't have a clue either, but Dumbledore seems to know so much that goes
on that I found myself wondering why he didn't suspect "Moody" sooner.
