AD:
I don't know.

Have the Death Eaters in question ever found their 12-year-old friend
and teammate locked in a room with bars on the window?

Have they ever ripped the bars off themselves, then found an innocent
owl padlocked in a cage, unable to fly, to hunt, or even to stretch
her wings?

Have they ever picked the locks on their friend's bedroom door?  Have
they seen the catflap though which he was fed cold soup?

Have they crept through his darkened house to find the cupboard in
which his school things were locked away?  The cupboard he slept in
for most of a decade?

Have they witnessed the contempt with which his "family" regards their
friend?  Seen those very well-off people dress him in ill-fitting
castoffs?

Have they heard tales of Harry-hunting?

Of barren birthdays and cheerless Christmasses? 

Have they?
