It's in "A Sluggish Memory": " 'However, I was able to secure a visit
to Morfin in the last weeks of his life, by which time I was
attempting to discover as much as I could about Voldemort's past.  I
extracted this memory [of Tom's visit to the Gaunt house at the time
the Riddle family get murdered - Mus] with difficulty.  When I saw
what it contained, I attempted to use it to secure Morfin's release
from Azkaban.  Before the Ministry reached their decision, however,
Morfin died.' " [HBP UKhb: 344]

Mus, who would have difficulty at this stage believing DD's word that
fire is hot.
