HumanTupperware:

This is an interesting point for me for two reasons........first, do we 
know for sure that Frank and Alice didn't go into hiding? We don't know 
that much about Neville's history, and I get the feeling that we'll hear 
more about that to come in the new books.......What we do know though, is 
that it was the Lestranges who tortured the Longbottoms, which begs the questions: Why weren't Frank and Alice killed? And why did Neville escape unharmed? And if Voldy knew that it was one boy or the other that was to 
prove his downfall, why send deatheaters to the Longbottoms and go to the Potters himself? Or did the Lestranges only go to the Longbottoms after 
Voldy was vanquished, which might mean that Voldy was going to go and kill Neville after he had killed Harry, but never made it there?

Sorry to answer your question with more questions, but I think all of this 
comes under the myterious missing 24 hours, which I assume will be 
explained further in the new books......nevertheless, I am curious.....

hmmmmm?
