Hi. I was reading some comments about this topic and had to
reply as well lol. If I can remember some of the story, didn't
LV have Bellatrix, Barty Crouch Jr and another death eater go
after Neville and his parents, while Voldemort went after Harry
himself? Neville's parents ended up in St Mungo's. So in a way
LV did go after both only using the Death Eaters to do the other
job while he sees to Harry.
