Gringotts / Malfoy Manor

[thursday]

No: HPFGUIDX 163056

2 questions please:

1) Is there anything official on whether the Ministry can seize
Gringott's accounts or if the goblins would thumb their noses at
anyone who tried?  Under what circumstances do you think the first
could occur and/or how long do you think the goblins would hold an
account intact waiting for a valid claim?

2) If the Ministry kept raiding Malfoy Manor why didn't Lucius just
place it under the fidelis charm so they couldn't find it anymore?
Do you think he's read "The Purloined Letter"?  Perhaps he's got
other properties under the fidelis and doesn't want anyone
speculating about where he really lives?
