To which Mr. Ed replies (in complete speculation):

I've wondered if Secret Keepers can unwillingly be put into their position.  
That, to me, would explain why the Longbottoms are alive, especially given, 
sad to say, how easy and 'clean' it is to kill in the Wizarding World.

If a secret can be stored in a living soul -- and if that soul is deemed 
"crazy" or is actually mentally impaired so much to be non-communicative, 
what better soul (from the dark perspective) to burden with a nasty yet 
important secret can there be?

Mr. Ed (who wonders why Tonya consults so frequently with the US's 
Republican Party to answer her excellent questions about the British 
Wizarding World!)
