       Thanks, Lynn, that's kinda what I meant. 

       I don't think the MOM made the connection or that it was even 
monitoring the situation. Dumbledore makes the comment that very few people 
knew that TMR had become Voldemort. TMR came to Hogwarts from a muggle 
orphanage after all, with no supposed family. Surely the authorities of the 
orphanage or UK social services might have made an effort to locate the 
infant's family and place him with them if it was known he had some still 
living.

       So, three muggles with the same surname as a current student at 
Hogwarts die over the summer break...and I have always assumed, possible a 
misreading, that the slayings occurred while TMR was still at school...why 
would the MOM believe that the heroic model student who had halted the 
attacks was behind them. Why would the MOM even believe that TMR, still a 
student, was even capable of casting not just one but *three* sucessful AKs?
