Nikkalmati:
Good thought here.  I, however, had thought that whoever sent the DE's  found 
out right away LV had disappeared after going to GH.  James and Lily  were 
dead, so he had been there and they clearly didn't kill him. What was the  next 
stop on his list?  I don't think LV would take any chances with  making a 
mistake when killing the "one born in July".  I think he planned  to go directly 
to the Longbottoms after taking care of Harry and get  Neville (a la Herod 
killing all the baby boys in Bethlehem to get Jesus).   Therefore, they went to 
the Longbottoms figuring  that LV had gone  there and the Longbottoms could tell 
them what happened. 
That still leaves the question who sent Bella and Company?
