zgirnius:
Yes, and the publicity surrounding the Crouch/Lestrange arrests and 
legal processs must have been enormous. Imagine if the US Attorney 
General's or Secretary for Homeland Security's son was apprehended for 
active participation in a plot by Al Qaeda terrorists on US soil. That 
would be the comparable parallel in the US...anyone with the slightest 
interest in the war would know their appearance. And Snape would have 
been interested.
