I thought *around* really means around, close by :-).  At least in the 
same house! Gaunt house and Riddle house were on two different sides of 
town. You are right that the Trace doesn't reveal the identitiy of a 
person, but shouldn't it show that the person is underage? In Riddles 
case, the Trace should have shown that either some teenager killed 
them, or that some teenager was present (around) when Morfin did it. Or 
maybe I still understand it all wrong ... :-).
