JKR was asked about Colonel Fubster in an interview.  If he was a wizard.  She said no, he was an ordinary Muggle neighbor of Aunt Marge's.

That's interesting.  Suppose for a minute that Voldemort was accompanied by Wormtail, Lucius, and Snape.  Why?  Backup?  To keep watch?  Wormtail, obviously, because he was the secret keeper.  Snape (until recently) trusted Lucius.  Who is certainly out for his own good, no one else's.  If Snape was there, did he stand casually by doing nothing to save the Potters?  Was he under orders from Dumbledore not to blow his cover for any reason (even to save them)?
