But the Lestranges and Crouch Jr didn't torture the Longbottoms until 
after Voldemort tried to kill Harry and lost all his powers.  They 
tortured the Longbottoms for information on the whereabouts of 
Voldemort.  In GoF, Dumbledore (I think) mentions that the incident 
was so horrific because it occurred after things were settling down 
from the war.
