Patrick's response:
I wouldn't be surprised either but then the issue is that that type of
vow requires a witness to do the 'binding' as per they did in Chapter
2 of HBP. So then someone else must know or I suppose could have been
memory charmed to forget, but doesn't that rather overcome the power
of the vow? It would seem that you would be unable to whipe the memory
of a vow such as that for the fact that your memory is a binding piece
of it.
