************************
Rishmosmom:  I also thought  the owner is Lucius Malfoy, probably 
because we were told the owner was  wealthy, and wasn't doing anything 
with the property.  Who else do we  know that is wealthy?

Chancie yet again:
 
Having read through the posts in reply to this topic, I feel fairly certain  
it 
won't be Lucius for several reasons:
 
    -Dumbledore states that very few people know  Voldemort was Tom Riddle
    -Bellatrix didn't know that Voldy was Half Muggle,  which leads me to 
think
        that it wasn't revealed to  his inner circle of DE's
    -Lucius wouldn't employ a Muggle 
    -Lucius would want to own a home in a Muggle town.  (He ridicules Author 
        for being in the company of  Muggles why would he buy a house in a 
town 
        full of them?)
    -IF Lucius bought the house for Voldemort, then why  didn't he contact 
Lucius
        upon arrival?   Wouldn't Voldy want a true DE there to help with his 
plan?
        (I do of course know that  Voldy thought of Lucius as not being 
strong enough
        to look for him and such,  but in the graveyard, Voldy still seems to 
accept him)
 
I believe it COULD be Dumbledore, but these thoughts make me wonder:
 
    -IF Dumbledore owned the house, why didn't he know  Voldemort had broken 
in?
        (Why were there no "alarms"  that notified him?)
    -I believe Dumbledore would have heard of the  murder of Frank, wouldn't 
he have
        put 2 and 2 together and  start investigating LONG before Harry ended 
up in the
        Graveyard?
 
Im inclined to think that it could in fact be "Joe Richguy", but that "Joe  
Richguy" will
turn out to be involved in some way.  Perhaps the new DADA, or MoM, or  
something.
Any thoughts?
