Potioncat:
I would think a magically binding pledge to keep the proceedings 
secret would be plausible.  Afterall, that's sort of what the 
Fidelus Charm does. 

The explanation that Snape was too young and unknown for his name to 
be remembered has merit.  But, consider.  He must have already been 
at Hogwarts at the time.  You would think some of those 200 
witnesses would have a student at Hogwarts or know someone who had a 
child there. OTOH, look at the number of cleared Death Eaters who 
work at the MoM!

Potioncat:
That would be chilling!

to have one's blood run cold. And who of course means the latter.)
