Longbottoms insanity (Was: St Mungos)

Its possible that the Longbottoms may or may not know something 
important. Still, wasn't it said that the Longbottom's insanity was 
permanant? Why would Voldemort have to risk going into St. Mungo's to 
kill them unless they did still pose a threat of being cured? The 
DE's could have done it easily when they did Bode. And, a-hem, sorry 
to mention it, but did GILDEROY see anything? I wanna know!!! He may 
have been a witness! I have a feeling we may find out whats going on 
next book. Neville's mum might know something, because Rowling did 
rather bring her into attention in this book a little, and she seemed 
coherent enough to know who her son was. 

I don't think we should jump to hasty conclusions about Snape, as you 
said, until we know more facts, because Snape is a very convient 
person to blame all Death Eater acts related to students. He happens 
to be at Hogwarts, and knows the students, such as Neville, face to 
face. But it could have been Lucius, or Voldemort himself, or 
somebody else, or it may be nothing at all. Its all fits very well 
though, and it WOULD explain why Snape is so nasty to Neville, wether 
he wanted to hurt Neville's parents or he was forced to by the Death 
Eaters, he would have to play the role of hating Neville as much as 
Potter to placate ol' Voldy.
 
Just my thoughts anyways.. I hope Rowling does more with Gilderoy, 
that'll be fun! :D
