I've always wondered whether the supposition that the LB's were 
tortured for info on YKW was based on mere postulations and 
inferences (By those in Canon, not just us).  I think DD said that 
the LB's could give little info about the attack (I don't think he 
said "nothing at all") which is how the four sent to Azkaban seemed 
to have been fingered for the attack or at least how the motive for 
the attack was deduced.  
I've been wondering if it wasn't something like one of the LBs 
somehow communicating, "They wanted to know where he was" or 
something that made everyone believe "he" was Volde.  Rather, I 
wonder if it was Harry who they were trying to find.  Hmmm, you know, 
we still haven't heard a peep about who Harry's Godmother could be 
and the only Witch that we've really heard of in that age/social 
group as MWPP and Lily is perhpas the Longbottoms (guessing because 
of Neville's age being close to Harry and their closeness of being in 
the Order together) is Neville's Mum.  Could she have been the 
Godmother?  Maybe, after Volde falls and litthe Harry Potter is 
whisked away to Dursleyville, the other remaining *Loyal* (deranged) 
servants seek out the Brat Who Killed their Lord to mete revenge.  
Where do they do?  To where they think an orphan would go--next of 
kin--nix that, he really has none they know of unless they do the 
muggle phone book.  How about God Parents?  Ok, Sirius--check, he's 
in Azkaban and they know he's not raising little Harrykins there.  
How about the Godmother?   Maybe they went there to seek Harry to get 
revenge for their master's fall or--maybe!! Oh oh!  I know Bellatrix 
has said she always *knew*(--as did Neville's Gran!!) that Volde 
would come back-----soooooo----maybe they somehow (prophecy of their 
own?) knew Volde could be raised back to power from the one who 
defeated him once?!? Hence the determination to find the Boy Who 
Lived and start looking with the Godmother!  Oi, how awful for Harry 
to ever know this--talk about a guilt complex--he'd feel like 
Neville's parents conditions are his fault :-(
