Would it be in character for darling Bella not to taunt young Potter with
what she had seen done to his parents? Hardly. She revels in her part
in torturing the Longbottoms. Can't really see her letting slip the
opportunity to distress Harry with jolly tales of death and destruction.

That's another aspect to  consider -  the destruction of the house. If
any of Voldy's little pals were caught in that you'd expect a mention
or two somewhere. That'd be a great help - beware the demented
cackler with a limp. But that would make it too easy.
