The underage magic thing had occurred to me, too - they were killed in
the summer, so wouldn't 3 AKs by an underaged wizard outside of school
have been noticed by the MoM?  Mostly, I'm just trying to get the
timeline straight in my own mind, because I do think that Tom Riddle's
history is going to be an important theme in the next book.  I
remember a series of old drawings, tracing "The Rake's Progress",
showing a man's decline and fall.  Well, I'm interested in "Tom
Riddle's Progress", and would like to know just when he started down
the wrong path, and if it was obvious at the time.
