Wow,  so many theories about who owns the Riddle House.  (Harry, 
James, Malfoy....)

I read the book and jumped to the conclusion that the youngest Riddle 
(You-Know-Who) had bought it himself.  This would have been long 
before Harry vapourized him, of course.  I thought he would have 
bought it for the fond old memories of that last dinner with Daddy, 
Gran and Gramps.  The fact that he could use it as a hideout would 
have been a more practical reason, and it turns out he did!  If it 
wasn't his, how did he know it would be empty for him to use after 
his return from Albania?

He must have had some money set aside for the upkeep of the place, 
since he would not have dared to buy it under the name Riddle.  So 
old Frank would have gone on being paid.  

As an aside, I'm sure at Frank's age, people just chalked his death 
up to a heart attack and let it go.

Things that make you go hmmmmmmm, Ginger
