Carol responds:
IIRC, the photograph was taken just a few weeks before half the people
in it, including the Potters, were killed. If Caradoc was a traitor,
no one knew it yet, and he seems to have disappeared either just
before or just after the Potters were killed, probably the former. I
don't know whether that helps your theory or not. . . .
