Just a quick little aside...DD is the biggest threat to LV and the 
DE's.  If I were DD the fact that I had a brother would be a huge 
weakness (not weakness as in DD wishes he didn't have a brother but 
weakness in the sense that LV could use him as bait or could just hurt 
him as punishment).  I would keep him under wraps for his own safety.  
I would have him in a place that was close and quickly accessable 
should there be trouble, but far enough away that no one would be 
suspicious.  DD mentions his brother only as comfort to Hagrid, not as 
common knowledge in a casual conversation.  DD is among people he 
trusts and that he knows are devoted to him, only then does he reveal 
he may have this link and thus a "weakness".
