What do you guys think of this subplot? As usual in GoF, the mob is easily swayed... Does that mean Bagman is actually guilty of something? I always felt something was fishy with him and he would show up again
There's been speculation that the unnamed "big blond" who was part of the Death Eater invasion in Half-Blood Prince is Bagman.
Why would they think Frank would have such information? Any reason besides him being an Auror?
On the Rumours section of her Web site, Rowling states that 1) Bellatrix and company were sent after the Longbottoms, and 2) they didn't know about the prophecy, so presumably their motivation was Voldemort's reported location. Which raises the question of who sent them. *dusts off pet Machiavelli!Dumbledore theory*
I wouldn't be surprised if Bellatrix had some shred of knowledge about them, or one horcrux in her possession.
Bellatrix's "He has trusted me with his most precious--" in "Spinner's End" has been interpreted as her keeping one of the horcruxes at some point. Perhaps she had the diary horcrux before she went to Azkaban, and this is how it got into Lucius' hands.
