GEO: If it was made abandoned as you suggested then who would have 
been paying Frank to maintain and watch over the grounds of the
house? 

BG:  Dumbledore paid Frank to maintain the house and Harry Potter
owns it.  I can't quite figure out the details but I'm convinced that
Harry is the "mirror image" of Tom - not related him but, him.  
Harry is reliving Tom's life - THE PLAN DD speaks of in OOTP.  Harry 
is remolding Tom's fate by making wiser choices for him when faced 
with similar circumstances.

What sparked my theory?  This quote from an article I found online 
about the real Nicolas Flamel.  The quote is from Magicians, Seers, 
and Mystics by Reginald Merton.   "Nicolas Flamel had developed in 
himself sufficient wisdom and strength to hold out against the storm 
of light involved by the coming of truth to the heart of man. Only 
then did events group themselves harmoniously according to his will 
and allow him to realize his desire."  Now, this is my avorite: "For 
everything good and great that happens to a man is the result of the 
co-ordination of his own voluntary effort and a malleable fate."  

In essence DD is arranging for Tom to get a "Do Over" to save the 
WW.  We have read how Tom and Harry have many similar experiences 
with the difference being their choices.  
 
In Books 6 & 7 we'll find out more as she reveals TR/LV's full 
history and what role Lily and James Potter played in THE PLAN to 
stop him.  There will twists and turns but JKR will bring us full 
circle (remember the time turner?) and I hope we are ready for the 
conclusion.
