Frank and Alice Longbottom were tortured to insanity by Bellatrix et al trying to pry some
secret information out of them. What was that information? Crouch Sr. said in the Pensieve
trial that it was the whereabouts of Vapormort. Could be, but what if it was something else?
In OotP it seems that Alice Longbottom is trying to pass a message to her son Neville,
somehow encoded in the bubblegum wrappers. HOW the message is encoded is a different
question, but I'm more interested in the WHAT. Now, what if this message that Alice is
trying to tell Neville is the same information for which she was tortured?
If so, it's not likely to be the whereabouts of Vapormort 14 years ago. This would be an
anticlimax. No, it should be something else. Something that was extremely important 14 years
ago and is still extremely important today. It is not the prophecy either. This will also be
an anticlimax. It should be something that DD doesn't know, maybe doesn't even guess. Bella
might have inkling what it is about (or why did she take the risk that landed her in Azkaban
for trying to pry it out of the Longbottoms) but she doesn't know the important part and she
probably believes it was erased with the rest of the Longbottom's minds and lost forever.
So what is it? Any suggestions?
