much suspense there. And if JKR hadn't said the Lestranges 
were "sent" to  the Longbottoms, I would go on believing it was 
Bella who engineered  the whole thing. After all, in the Pensieve 
scene in GOF, she yells  out, "The Dark Lord will rise again, 
Crouch!...he will reward us beyond any of his other supporters! 
*We alone were faithful! We  alone tried to find him!*" (emphasis 
mine) (US, chap. 30, p. 596)

did  someone really 'send' them? Cause by the time their trial 
rolled  around, it appeared to be after most of the other DE trials; 
Crouch  Sr. was 'gaunter and grayer' than before. Hmmm..

Pippin:

Bella taking all the credit and possibly covering up for someone 
else? Now, where else might she be doing that...

"Harry heard Bellatrix Lestrange's triumphant scream, but knew it 
meant nothing--Sirius had only just fallen through the archway, 
he would appear from the other side any second...." -OOPch 35

Is Harry's refusal to believe that Sirius is dead the only reason 
that Bella's scream means nothing?
