In Chapter 1 (GoF) it mentions that a wealthy man owns the Riddle 
house for "tax reasons" Is there more to this than what most seem to 
think? Could someone that we've been introduced to have it? This 
leads us to who... It can't be Voldemort as he would have had trouble 
paying the upkeep as he'd been out of body for thirteen years... 
Wormtail could not leave his Animagus form so it would have been 
suspicious if his name had appeared on it... And Dumbledore knows of 
the Riddle House. It can't be Dumbledore or it would have been very 
neglectful of him to let Voldemort back in, it couldn't be one of the 
Death Eaters as they were trying to convince the WW that they had 
repented, rather than drawing attention to themselves by purchasing a 
large manor where the Riddles lived... So who owned it and why would 
they have wanted to keep Frank on? Could it have been Crouch maybe?
