I'm not concern with Dobby's urge to warn Harry in particular - I 
have a theory about that, I'll post it some other time.

Ladies! Congratulations This is brilliant.
About all those raids......
Perhaps it has something to do with LV's wand.
The wand is rare and powerful, what I recall to mind is the 
Knockturn alley scene where Borgin(is it?) mutters ungraciously and 
implies that Malfoys basement holds something that he would far 
rather possess than the few trinkets that Lucius had just sold him.

Off the top of my head I just, while reading these passages thought 
of how Lucius could have used young Voldemort against old Voldemort, 
and that is _whoever has the wand has the advantage_. 
If Lucius took in Young Tom Riddle and gave *him* the wand, then he 
would therein be handing the balance of power to himself. 
As long as he was able to reign the younger version to him he could 
be more powerful than anyone even Lord Voldy MkI.
