I am re-reading for the nth time GOF, and I thought that Malfoy 
could be the mysterious owner of the house. Any theories?

I apologize if this came up before, I did not find anything in the 
archives.

Thanks

*Kimberly's comment*
Everytime I read that passage, I become quite curious as to just who owns this house now and whether or not we'll re-visit in in future books.     I don't think it's the Malfoys that own it because the house went through several owners before it came to the current owner.    (Canon text, GoF, Amer. ed. pg. 4 "But Frank did not leave.   He stayed to tend the garden for the next family who lived in the Riddle House, and then the next-for neither family stayed long."   

Had the Malfoys seen a need for it, I would think they'd have snatched it up right away and it wouldn't have been sold to at least 2 other families first.
