Potioncat:
Haven't a clue. But had it had ever been written into a T-BAY format--
we'd consider it sunk. (I think.)

We thought the identity of the owner must be important. Lucius Malfoy 
was also in the running, IIRC. I'm not sure if anyone else was 
considered. The thinking may have been that DD suspected the property 
would be important later, so used his contacts to purchase it. I 
can't explain how it would be that if DD owned it, LV would be able 
to slither in so comfortably.

Who knows why it may have been empty? Remnants of the curse? poor 
location? bad reator? Why was someone was making a long distance 
effort to maintain it? Heck for all we know, Frank wasn't being paid 
by anyone, he was just living there because no one had evicted him.
