Terpnurse:
It had always been my assumption that The Wealthy Man was Malfoy. That 
would be consistent with his having his financial finger in almost 
every major pie in the UK WW. Certainly, if he were close enough to LV 
to have possession of his school belongings, why not hold the Riddle 
House in trust for him as well?
