Jen: Yes! I think Caradoc will return as well. Here's a post from 
Nov., but there's no other mention in the archives except on 'death 
toll' lists:

Unfortunately, no one responded. Does everyone think he's dead? JKR 
slipped him in so carefully, and he's notable for being the *only 
other person in Potterverse besides Pettigrew* whose body wasn't 
found. That's enough for me to sit up and take notice!

Another theory: Caradoc was the Longbottom's Secret Keeper and was 
captured while LV was still alive. The Order presumed him dead, but 
really he was a prisoner. After LV's death, Bellatrix became 
frenzied and Crucio'd Caradoc until he gave over the location of the 
Longbottoms. He lost his memory in the proccess, the DE's left him 
for dead, but he actually wandered away and will return once he gets 
his memory back, i.e., soon.

Hey, it could happen!
