Sneaking suspicion about Neville's parents...

Ok what do you think about this...

I've been wondering why Neville's parents were tortured and an 
answer just hit me. It all ties into the prophecy of course.

Perhaps Voldy did think of the possibility of Neville and Harry 
being the foretold ones. So, he sends Bellatrix (who seems to be 
his most loyal follower) to find Neville. She cannot find him since 
his parents have hidden him. She proceeds to torture them 
using the Cruciatus curse to find out his whereabouts which they 
never tell her.  Meanwhile Voldy is told of Harry's location from 
scummy Wormtail and events unfold as we know them. 

It seems that protecting their son could be the only thing that the 
Longbottoms would keep secret through the process of such 
torture to the point of madness. A true sacrifice to safe their own 
son. 

Let me know what you all think. 

Btw I'm new here and also wanted to say a big hi to everyone!
